Water and Performance
Your blood volume decreases when you are dehydrated. This makes your heart pump faster to move oxygen. Your perception of effort goes up. The weights feel heavier.
Most people are chronically dehydrated. They rely on thirst, which is a lagging indicator. By the time you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated.

Water isn't enough. You lose sodium and potassium in sweat. Fitblues nutritional database tracks sodium intake. It helps you ensure you aren't just drinking plain water and flushing out your electrolytes, which leads to cramping (Hyponatremia).
