Shopping as a Workout?

A few weeks ago I started talking about doing things ahead of time to avoid the extra stress of the season and  keep your weight loss still a priority during this busy time of year. Today's emhasis will show you how to stay active physically while you do your holiday shopping.

Make shopping hit the mark with 10,000 steps.Where will you be shopping and what stores are you going to hit in a specific area? It should take about 90 minutes. 90 minutes will equal approximately those 10,000 steps for health benefits. It's a lot of walking, but you will have no problem if you're distracted with shopping

Pick out  4 or 5 stops on your shopping route and put a bit  more into the walking; don't just stop in each store that is placed side by side on your list. Cross the street, take the stairs up and down to another level in the mall, walk around another block and other cars a few times. Got the idea?

Omron HJ-105 Pedometer with Calorie Counter will help you get those 10,000 steps too just to make sure and it even tracks yours calories.
