Sweating while working out is the body's natural cooling method. However, it also drains your body of crucial fluids, which is why it is important to drink water and stay hydrated while working out. Not drinking water while working out, especially on a hot day, can lead to heat stress and dehydration which can have negative consequences towards your health. #StayHydrated
