That's all you need. There's no reason
to spend money on expensive energy drinks.
You also said in a new post that you're
new to exercise and fitness, so I don't
see a reason for using a sport drink
either.

Yep. Everything but a ton of water will
deter your results.

It really depends what you are doing.
Water is the best thing for you during
exercising but if you are going to work
out or do continuous activity for a couple
of hours it is good to have sports drinks
(gatorade, powerade, etc) because they
have electrolytes that water does not
have. Another good thing to do is to mix
water into gatorade/powerade so that way
it's better for you cause sports drinks
contain a lot of sugar. You don't need
to waste your money on the energy drinks
(red bull, etc.) they contain what I like
to call "false energy" because they are
made entirely of sugar. Sugar gives you
a boost of energy but just brings you
right back down even lower than what you
were before that's how they get you to
drink so much of it. Just stick to
either water, sports drinks, or the water
mixed with the sports drinks.

If you really need an energy drink.. Try
not to make it as a daily habit
go with twin's lab sugar free energy drink
or diet-turbo tea by abb

Sports drinks in my opinion are for people
who are going to do cardio for more than 2
hours or so.

I'll only drink water or xs when I run or
work out. Red bull and the like have too
much sugar, but xs has no sugar and no
carbs, and a couple no caffeine flavors
too. It's the only thing i've found that
keeps me going without the sugar and even
tastes good. The other thing that my
friend pointed out to me about xs is that
it has crazy amounts of b12 in it for even
more energy, something like 49x the
'recommended' daily amount. Not that
i've done the crazy b12 shots or anything,
but I love the stuff.

Most people get b12 shots because they
have a deficiency because their instesines
cant aborb it properly and it causes
depression and extreme sloth.

While exercising you loose a lot of salt
due to sweating. So you need both water
and salt. Go for a drink that contains
both water and salt or better make a
solution at home. Take a glass full of
water, add a teaspoon of sugar and a pinch
of salt. Thats all you'll need.

First, red bull is not "false energy" it's
not a sugar drink. While it does contain
sucrose and glucose for flavouring, you
drink it for its all natural medicinal
ingredients (taurine, glucuronolactone,
caffeine, niacin, pantothenic acid,
riboflavin, etc. Etc...) these types of
energy drinks increase your heart rate,
your body's thermal temperature slightly,
and help increase blood flow and oxygen
transport to your muscles and brain
helping you become more aware, awake, and
have a slightly longer endurance. These
drinks are good to have pre-workout, or
during the first phase of your workout.
If you're strength training the energy
will be crucial for your final reps. If
you're attempting to lose weight, then the
caffeine and taurine will help burn those
extra calories too. Just be careful, and
use wisely.
Gatorade/poweradre products are simple
carbs and contain some electrolytes,
really not the most efficeient energy
drink for exercising purposes, but great
for long endurance activities (i.E.
Sports such as soccer or hockey.)
water is always required, this goes
without say.. But it's not an energy
drink.
