- tallanvor 14y agoYou don't need anything other than plain water for normal exercising (anything under 2 hours will generally count here). --Sports drinks will simply add calories and are not going to enhance your performance. If you're going to be working out all day or doing something like a marathon, then you need to consider something to help replace the salts you lose when sweating.
