Is gatorade a good drink to hydrate with during gym workouts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Its ok: Most people do fine just by drinking water which is what one loses in sweat while working out. If you are working out for at least an hour or in high humidity conditions, use might want to use a gatorade drink to help replace some of the lost electrolytes.
