I confess. I have a love affair with my elliptical trainer. I use it four times a week, at least – and I feel like a queen using it. As I smoothly glide through the motions of using the elliptical trainer, I calmly drink water once in a while to hydrate. I can even read my Kindle and finish half of a novel during my exercising.
