Make sure that you stay properly hydrated during your workout. You need to keep replenishing all the water you are losing through sweat, especially if it is hot where you are exercising. Do not drink too much at once though or you could vomit it back up. Just take little sips to keep your body temperature cool and to replenish your fluids.
