Signs and symptoms of dehydration

Drink at least two 8-ounce glasses of water before starting your weight lifting routine and two–four glasses while working out. In order to move your muscles, you need water. Muscle is considered an active tissue and water is found in the highest concentrations in active tissue. Your muscles are 72 percent water. If your body is only slightly dehydrated, your performance will decline.
Signs and symptoms of dehydration include the following:
  • Dry mouth
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of appetite
  • Lightheadedness
  • Headache
  • Dry cough
  • Dark yellow urine
