How come i get cotton mouth and stringy spit when i work out?

Not Enough Water: When you workout, your body overheats and cools itself by sweating. This causes your body to lose water very quickly which causes your saliva to thicken. Make sure between reps to drink water in order to replenish what you lose. This will help with 'cotton mouth' and the stringy spit.
