   "They're thinking about exercising, not about cleaning a water bottle," says Albany YMCA Fitness Director Larry Cassella. He washes his bottle regularly and says you should too. "You continue drinking from the same water bottle and you don't clean it and you're wondering why your cold's not going away," says Cassella.
   
   You could actually be making yourself sick.
   ...
   That's why Larry Cassella says get a good standard water bottle and before you refill, re-wash. "I have a larger opening, I can get a cloth in there, I can get a scrub in there and actually do a thorough cleaning," says Cassella.

   "In the fitness world, our main concern is fighting the rise in obesity," says Larry Cassella, health and fitness director for the Albany YMCA. He works with clients on a combination of weight loss and maintaining weight loss.
   
   Cassella calls the institute's hour-a-day exercise recommendation "a little excessive." He advises 30 to 45 minutes a day, three to five times a week.
   
   He agrees that teen girls do not exercise enough.
   ...
   Cassella suggests parents join the YMCA or other fitness programs to set an example and encourage their kids to exercise.
   
   "Often, teens are not aware of fun and enjoyable exercise programs available to them," he says. "Hanging out with friends seems more fun than the thought of just getting on the treadmill. Teens need a long-term goal to take on a healthy lifestyle."
