Exercise is as important to good health as proper nutrition. Then again, your need for proper nutrition is increased by exercise. You will need more quality protein to build the muscles you are exercising. Soy and whey are the "in vogue" supplements for body builders, but I much prefer the combination of rice protein and yellow pea protein. It is virtually of the same quality and bioavailability as those other sources, but has the advantage of being hypoallergenic and extremely easy to digest.
You also need quality carbohydrates, especially ultra-long-chain carbohydrates (ULCs) such as pre-sprouted barley. ULCs release energy over several hours and do not spike sugar levels. High-quality fats are also critical--omega-3s and GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) in particular.
When exercising, you utilize more oxygen, which produces extra free radicals, so you will need more antioxidants to clear them. Look for a full-spectrum antioxidant, rather than a single source wonder supplement (see Chapter 10). And you will want higher intake of minerals (particularly electrolytes such as potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium, and all the trace minerals) and water-soluble vitamins (vitamin C and all of the B vitamins, for example), since you will be using them up and sweating them out at an accelerated rate. Instead of drinking high-sugar sports beverages, you might want to consider just adding liquid trace minerals to your water.
The one area that you gain nutritionally while exercising is in detoxification. Exercise is its own form of detoxification: it removes waste from the lymph, stimulates peristalsis to remove waste from the colon, and accelerates the removal of waste through sweat and urine.
