Much ado about the benefits of water alone…
Water is always the best hydrating source. When you train, you sweat and lose precious fluid levels.
However, and this goes without saying but I will say it for the sake of the few sorry souls here who flame rather than contribute, in the sweat are salt and other trace minerals that will adversely effect training potential when lost in great amounts.
Gatorade is currently being used by the US military as a source of electrolyte replacement for troops in the field. This after years of being told to “just drink water.”
Lets not forget that TOO MUCH water is actually BAD for you! What happens when you drink too much water? You urinate frequently to purge the extra fluid levels (the body strives for homeostasis at all times, retaining water during fluid loss, and purging fluid when there is excess). If you drink too much, you will **** constantly. In so doing, your body is actually diluting its own stores of these minerals, and it is possible to DIE from being super hydrated. I forget the medical term for the condition, but it does exist (had a class on cold weather injury prevention two weeks ago, and the condition was mentioned by the nurse practitioner giving the class).
Fruit juice is a good add in, and Gatorade is good as well, though the best basic foundation is a good diet with adequate water intake.
Just my humble 2 yen…

No one said that you don’t need to replenish your mineral supplies, but for most people this is adequately handled in the diet. Unless you are training full time (as in like 6-8 hours a day), it shouldn’t be an issue. In the army, this is often the case, especially if soldiers are on training exercises. Also, soldiers in the field don’t exactly get the best diet as most rations are either freeze-dried or canned - very few fresh foods.
Super-hydration can occur, but I thought you have to drink stupid amounts to achieve that. For most people who exercise, the problem is dehydration rather than super-hydration.
My point is that for most active people, water is just as good for rehydration as any of the sports drinks like Gatorade.
Re-hydration vs. Super-hydration
Dead on the money on that particular point.
Most folks, living in their suburban apartment or condo, doing martial arts primarily to reduce that ring of Mr. Donuts from around their midsection and to learn a thing or two of self-defense in the process, will probably be best served with a bottle of DiHydrogenOxide 
more than anything else.
I am a soldier. I do PT 4 times a week, train on my own in martial arts, plus teach about 5 hours each week (small post). With all I put out, I drink about one 8 ounce bottle of the G stuff each day, plus tons of water.
The super-hydration issue comes from the traditional method of hydrating troops in basic training - every hour on the hour, regardless of other fluid intake, they will drain their canteens. Given that they are required to keep their canteens full at all times (one quart size), this can lead to quite a waterlog in some poor private’s belly. There have been cases (though rare) of trainees dying during basic and advanced training due to this super-hydration.
Again, you are correct - water is probably best for most. For those of us who have forgone social interaction to pursue our CMA dreams and who train more than we sleep, the G stuff makes a good dietary supplement.

Many good points
Guys!
Many good points mentioned in the last 3 posts. i agree water is essential and it is important to drink enough to prevent dehydration (OK depends on how you train and the conditions you train in). but if dehydrations hits you - it’ll be too late.
Sports drinks, the “G” is an example of many. Salts are actually essential for the process of osmosis in our bodies. When you perspire, you lose salts as well as water. Both components need to be replenished.
Finally, if your training involves is taxing on your body’s energy reserves, then consume enough carbohydrates as they provide clean fuel. Fatty stuff creaters waste products for the body and therefore draws on the water reserves to dispose of that. Sugars burn too quickly. Well any way, I guess these are the main points for any exercise which includes KF.

Maybe it’s me but co-marketing of a sports drink and a shoe just doesn’t work. I don’t want my shoes to be associated with my sports drink and vice versa.

“Gatorade” 6s arrive tomorrow.
Gatorade partnered up with Jordan Brand for a special edition “Like Mike” collection in honor of Michael Jordan’s classic 1991 ad, which included a number of different Air Jordan silhouettes.
Closing out the Gatorade x Air Jordan Collection is a brand new green suede Air Jordan 6 that will be much more limited than the white/orange rendition that dropped a few weeks back.

The green suede “Gatorade” Air Joran 6 NRG is officially set to release, in limited quantities, this Saturday, December 30th for the retail price of $225. The official colorway is listed as “Pine Green/Orange Blaze-Pine Green.”
Similar to the white/orange “Gatorade” Air Jordan 6 that dropped on December 16th, the green rendition features special edition packaging, Gatorade-inspired lace locks and insoles, and “If I Could Be” text stitched on inside of the tongue. The kicks will release alongside a line of matching “Like Mike” apparel as well.
Still, except for the colour, that’s a pretty nice shoe.
