Hydrate with what?
Most sports drinks contain electrolytes. Electrolytes are minerals and chemical compounds like sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium that are necessary for your body to function properly.
The problem with only drinking water is that you lose electrolytes when you sweat but water alone doesn’t replace them. Watch out for high calorie sports drinks. They undo all the efforts you put into your workout. Read the labels
Hydration also keeps your joints and ligaments lubricated. Can you imagine how painful it would be to run or bike without having your joints lubricated? OUCH!
Proper hydration also means you’re able to glisten aka sweat and cool your body.
