We all know we’re supposed to keep hydrated while we’re working out or exercising, but do we always have to drink boring, tasteless, humble water? No, we don’t! There are lots of alternative to water at the gym, and here’s my list of the top 7 other things you can drink!

1. Gatorade

This is the original, designed in 1965 by an assistant coach and a team of researchers at the University of Florida to help keep his football team hydrated. There are so many flavors available, there’s sure to be one you’ll love!

2. Crystal Light Pure Fitness

Crystal Light isn’t quite as convenient as Gatorade, or even water, because it’s just the mix. It’s not terribly difficult to use, though, if you know this trick — take a few sips of the water BEFORE you add the Crystal Light, or there won’t be enough room for you to shake it up! I love the new Pure Fitness line, too, designed for women when they’re working out. Choose your favorite of three refreshing flavors — lemon lime, grape, or strawberry kiwi.

3. Vitamin Water

Vitamin Water is another great alternative to water when you’re at the gym because it’s got so many vitamins and minerals in it, perfect for replacing the ones you’re using during your work-out. For more information, check them out on Facebook here: facebook.com
