Tue 5-6:30 baseball 
Wed 4:30-5:00 swim
Wed 6:00-7:00 karate (this can change, you can go twice per week)
Thur 5-6:30 baseball
Fri 4:30-5:00 swim, ( only swims spring: summer)
Sat baseball and soccer games can also do karate[/quote]

Those hour practices really aren't heavy cardio ESPECIALLY BASEBALL. My boys don't even need to drink water when they play baseball:).  Then--there are always juice and chips give out by parents as snack post-game.  Seriously????  They are putting in more calories than they burned.  Karate at his age same thing...soccer depending on coach and if its just Rec could also not be full on running.

Playgournds and pick up sports after school burn much more...as does walking more (I walk mine to and from school).[/quote]
