Do You Play a Team Sport?

Drive past any baseball field at this time of year and you're likely to see a team practicing or playing a game. And team sports aren't just for little kids. Joining a team -- whether it's baseball/softball, soccer, volleyball, basketball or any other sport -- is a great addition to your fitness routine. When your team is relying on you, you're more likely to stick with the activity. Plus, it's just plain, good fun. Do you play a team sport?


When you're playing a sport, do you count all the sports drink calories you consume? Last week, I asked you about liquid calories.

When it comes to counting liquid calories, the majority of you keep close tabs:

• 54 percent keep track of your liquid calories.
• 38 percent of you drink mainly water, so you don't have to worry about liquid calories.
  
• 7 percent of you don't count calories at all.
• 1 percent think food has a bigger impact on overall calories than drinks.
