Because you've tried everything else
This myth is similar to the "I can eat anything I want as long as I exercise" myth. Because a food item is fat-free doesn't mean we can eat as much as we want of it. Don't I wish! Being fat-free doesn't mean it is free of calories. You overeat anything and the extra calories will be stored as fat if they are not burned.

Having a gym membership is great but working out at a gym isn't for everyone. Whether it is out of your range financially or you simply don't like gyms doesn't mean you can't get just as an effective a workout at home. All you need is some room to move and basic equipment like a set of dumbbells and a few exercise dvd's and you're set. Most exercise videos I've seen don't require anything more than a pair of light weights.
I belong to a gym and I still do exercises in my home. I do various body resistance exercises before I hit the sack. Don't think just because you don't belong to a gym you can't stay fit. You can be just as fit as long as you're willing to put in the time and effort - right from the comfort of your own home.

Sports drinks are great for replacing needed electrolytes and nutrients during a strenuous workout. Many athletes drink sports drinks to rehydrate after a strenuous workout. However, for the average person exercising, drinking a sports drink for every workout isn't necessary for good health.
Sports drinks are great for very strenuous workouts that last for 3 - 5 hours or more, like marathons, triathlons, etc. Drinking only water during these types of workouts can lead to hyponatremia (low blood sodium concentration.)
For regular exercise lasting 30 minutes to 1 hour, water will do the job just fine.

You may see someone dripping in sweat after their workout and may think, wow, they must have burned a ton of calories! Sweating isn't an indicator of a good workout. Sweating is simply your body's way of cooling itself. You can still burn a good amount of calories without sweating profusely. Light activities like a brisk walk will still burn calories and help maintain fitness.
