What It Takes to Burn Off One Can of Soda

Whether you're loyal to Coke or Pepsi, a two-can-a-day habit can set you back when it comes to controlling calories. Aside from added sugar, a single can of soda contains 100 calories. It may not sound like much, but when you drink two or a three a day, the calories add up. Let's look at how much exercise you'll need to do to burn off one can of soda:

Exercise Equivalents

Walking: 26 minutes
Running: 11 minutes
Biking: 14 minutes

The next time you reach for something to quench your thirst, consider club soda or seltzer. These choices contain zero calories and no added sugar or sweetener, so you can drink as much as you'd like without derailing your diet.

I need to use this tip. I am good with laying off the soda and juice but today I had a Kola Champagne for a whopping 170 calories. I guess I'll do an extra mile with Leslie -- 17 minutes to compensate.
