If your body weight is two pounds lower than normal in the morning, you're probably dehydrated and need to drink more water before doing any vigorous physical activity. If you plan to exercise outside in hot and humid weather, wear very light, comfortable clothing and work out in the early morning or late evening, if possible. Know the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. If any of these symptoms appear, stop exercising and take action immediately to cool down by dousing yourself with cold water. Seek medical attention if necessary.
Heat exhaustion can progress quickly to heat stroke, a potentially fatal condition.
