Walk before you shop

Tis the season for eating all of the things that we know add inches to the hips. If you're going to be indulging a bit this holiday season, be certain not to forget some type of exercise. It doesn't have to be a full gym workout. Simply take a little walk each day and burn some of those added calories. If it is too cold where to you live to go outdoors for a walk, consider your local mall. You can conquer your holiday shopping and your exercise in one trip. Before you start your shopping, take 2 or 3 laps around the mall scoping out which shops you'd like to hit. Not only are you creating a shopping strategy but you're getting that much needed exercise as well. Just take my advice and avoid the loop that takes you through the food court. No need for unnecessary temptations!
