Relaxer and exercise? Need advice

I exercise regularly (3 to 4 times a week) and I have a short relaxed hairdo that I love and would like to keep. I don't know how to care for my hair and keep up my exercise regimen. My hair reverts quickly because of the sweat and it cannot withstand airdrying (the texture gets too rough).  Any advice on techniques, tricks, products? I've tried natural do's and I don't like it (too much effort to maintain, don't like the styles...) For you sisters out there who believe in working out, what do you do?

This worked for me when I was relaxed and wanted to keep a straight style:

This is the same method that I use when working out. For me it usually takes about 2 1/2 hours, do not comb down before it's dry though. Your hair will be a frizzy wet mess!
