I'm going to the Y and I work out a lot. Not only that, but I sweat TONS. I sweat tons even just walking 3 miles/hour. I work out for long periods of time, sometimes with over 3 hours of total exercise time on the cardio machines.
I sweat so much my face and back and arms are literally dripping with sweat. My clothes and even underwear are soaked. I can wring the sweat of out my clothes. My face turns bright red and stays red throughout my workout.
I drink water in-between machines and I am just a freaking eating machine after my workouts. I really need to control that. I want to lose weight, not gain weight!
I think I'm probably getting back my electrolytes through the eating so I assume just drinking water is OK.
Do I need a sports drink?
