Sharing sports what about playing baseball for burning calories?

with your family and friends can help you stay healthy and fit. Grab a baseball and glove and start having fun.

Even if you are just playing throw and catch, the process of throwing and running to catch the ball can burn a few calories.

The upper body and arm conditioning plus stretching the torso is a plus even if you're just playing catch. If you are really serious about trying this sport you can always check on your local softball or baseball Meetup Groups and connect with others that have interest in this sport.

If you haven't been active for a while don't be fooled by thinking you can throw and catch for an hour without feeling it. According to experts, the act of throwing creates a great amount of twisting force (called torque) into the shoulder. Many baseball injuries are to the shoulder, so be careful starting out!
