Drink water every 15 minutes as you exercise.  Remember to drink before you get thirsty.

 Try to limit caffeinated and sugary beverages. Caffeine acts as a diuretic and can cause you to lose fluids quickly. In addition to having extra calories, the fructose, or natural sugars, in fruit juice can slow your body’s ability to absorb fluids.  Monitor your fluid intake, factoring in foods.
