Workout Rehydration - Gatorade anyone?

Are you drinking anything around workout time? Water, Gatorade, Powerade, Accelerade, Amino Vital, etc... Me, if I remember my water bottle, ice and water-fountain water. :drink:

    Am I the only person who wouldn't think of drinking during a 90-minute workout? Heck, half the time I have to get out and toddle off the bathroom in the middle of practice. Funny you should mention that. A couple of years ago I was telling my urologist that often when I swim fast and hard (hard flutter kicks) I find that I have to make "pit stops" more often than when I'm doing my whole 60 to 90 minutes at an easier pace. I was trying to find out if my more pronounced kicks, affected my core (and body area around the bladder thus causing this) but his response was not exactly to the point but he did say that when we swim, the body is absorbing water through the pores which leads to the feeling to want to........... you know. So, according to him, while swimming we are already re-hydrating (porously???)
