Proper hydration is especially important during exercise. The proper amount of fluid intake is critical to performance, comfort and safety. The longer and more intensely you exercise, the more important it is to drink the right kind of fluids. Dehydration due to sweating results in a drop in blood volume causing the heart to work harder to move blood through the bloodstream. The result may be muscle cramps, dizziness, fatigue and even heat illness. The bottom line... STAY HYDRATED!
