Health and Fitness: Shopping is Good For Your Health!

Good News For All The Shopaholics, Shopping is Good For Your Health!

Whether you're a self-proclaimed shopaholic or a closeted shopaholic, here's one good reason to not feel so guilty about your shopping addiction. According to a recent study shopping sprees are good for your health! (We can see that big smile on your face.)
The Daily Mail Article reports that 'the average woman burns around 385 calories - the equivalent of a piece of carrot cake or two large glasses of wine - trudging around stores each week.

The average woman burns off almost 48,000 calories each year by shopping ...They notch up 154 miles a year.'
Now we know why we feel so exhausted after shopping it's really a work out, especially for those of us who have trouble sticking to the gym and other exercise routines. Anyone else in the mood for shopping?
