Why do I yawn when I exercise?

Every time I begin excercising, especially when lifting weights, I start yawning. It persists nearly the whole time I am working out. I am a 53-yr. old female, but it seems that it has always happened.

you're either dehydrated or not feeding yourself well.

Your body is trying to get more oxygen. When you yawn you are taking a big breath.

that occurs when the body goes from a period of inactivity to activity or vice versa
