OK, ladies I have some great news. So I've done a little research, and have found out some great information about my favorite activity.....SHOPPING!!! There’s a new study that proves that our “black belt” shopping may have a fitness perk as well.
“The average woman burns off 48,000 calories a year - just by walking around the shops, the The Daily Mail reports based on a poll of 3,000 women conducted by Skinny Cow low-fat frozen desserts.
The Daily Mail explains that the average woman makes 132 shopping trips each year which the annual total of walking at a fast pace for 159 hours and 56 minutes. The researchers found that shoppers will burn approximately five calories a minute - a total of 47,700 calories over a 12-month period. That's the equivalent of 25 days worth of women's recommended daily intake of 1,940 calories.
Shoppers are not slow pokes either as two thirds of women polled said they walked briskly around the shops rather than ambled so they could cover more ground. All that racing around the stores left almost seven in ten women feeling completely exhausted after a shopping trip, and six in ten women thought shopping was a great form of exercise.
I certainly don't recommend shopping as a substite of regular excersise, but I definitely look at as an added bonus to my health! Enjoy ladies!
