Know the warning signs of heatrelated illness: dizziness, nausea, fatigue, headache, rapid heartbeat, chest pain, fainting and breathing problems.

The more you sweat, the more you need to drink- for every pound of sweat lost, rehydrate with at least a pint of water. And made sure to pre- hydrate by drinking plenty of fluids in the hours before you’re in heat so you aren’t starting at a fluid deficit.
