When I'm on the elliptical, treadmill, or stationary bike I keep a bottle of water with me to swig as I go. I find that when I'm warming up and cooling down I can just drink it straight from the bottle like I would if I wasn't exercising. However, when I pick up the speed I have to be a little more careful not to choke. I squeeze the water into my mouth, set the bottle down, and then swallow carefully. I do not have to slow down to drink and I don't choke!!

I started this progam last week. One of my biggest problems I have is drinking water, I really do not like water (had to drink to much when I was in Iraq).
The easiest way I found is to drink four 20oz water bottles during the day, then refill them at night. I try to drink at least a quarter of the bottle at a time.
My husband has even commented me on drinking water, he knows how much I depise water. 91
