Advantages: cheap, delicious, can be drank while running

Disadvantages: High in sugar, fattening

Tesco Active Isotonic Sports drink comes in cherry, tropical and blueberry flavours, and whilst they are all nice the cherry flavour is by far and away the best tasting. The drink is very thirst-quenching and full of glucose and electrolytes, meaning that it is ideal for giving you an extra energy boost while exercising or for rehydrating yourself in hot weather, and is also useful for boosting concentration during lectures or whilst at work. Each bottle comes with a nozzle meaning that the bottle can be squeezed and the drink squirted, making it ideal for use when out jogging.

A four pack will set you back around £1.50, which at under 40 pence per bottle makes them far cheaper than their more upmarket brand equivalents Powerade and Lucozade. The drink's high sugar content means that it is not particularly healthy, but is ideal for a quick boost and taken in moderation is an ideal accompaniment to a regular exercise routine.
