• Water: This is the overall of it,water. As we exercise sweat evaporates from your skin, it removes heat from the body thereby loosing fluids which makes you want to drink fluids during exercise to replace the fluids you have lose when you sweat. With this act you reduce the risk of heat stress, maintain body performance and normal body functions. So drink enough water to get adequate hydration while work out.

Conclusion

Exercise improves the body’s health and fitness. It plays a vital role in supporting overall health.
