You are thirsty so you buy a sports-drink at reception & get back to your workout. Athletes drink them, & those athletes have nice bodies, so it ought to work for you .
You are slightly unfit, slightly fat, & wheezing after two minutes of light walking. Put the drink down, & go get yourself a bottle of water. Plenty of people make the large mistake of drinking drinks that are high in calories. It is a lot simpler to consume a can of drink without feeling full than it is to consume the equivalent calories in solid food. Worse yet, these drinks have no nutritional value – you might as well eat a few teaspoons of sugar.
