Do you need to get in more exercise? Than use the holiday shopping as your excuse to exercise. Daily exercise alleviates stress and helps curb those nasty carvings. Looking for that perfect gift for that 'special' someone takes alot of looking and searching. You can get alot of walking in that equals out to plenty of exercise.

Great idea!! Nothing like shopping off all those cookie calories :)
Yes, shopping does help get rid of those calories.

This is an easy one with the holidays coming up.

I definitely need more exercise! It's so hard to go shopping with 3 kids. I do it when I have Jason along and love walking around the stores but during the week I avoid it since taking them anywhere is so difficult.
Yeah, shopping with kids is difficult.

I really, really, really need to exercise! With cold weather around the corner, I think I will get out my mini trampoline I have disassembled and stored away and put it up again and start walking and jumping on it. It's easier on my body than the hard ground. That's just what works for me though. It doesn't feel like exercise if a good show is on or some music to do it with at the same time. When I was younger I walked or rode bike for miles. And it was enjoyabe. But with pain, it is just not enjoyable. So I figure out ways around all that. I should probably add some stretching in there before hand too. Just thinking out loud. :)

I got a good deal on the mini trampoline, $5 at a rummage sale.
mini tramoline is a great idea......to bad I have a bad leg and can only jump with one leg..But my kids would love one. I'll have to do some checking.

Good suggestion, but I think I'm headed for the woods to avert the holiday rush.
thats even better if you can beat the holiday rush

Good idea! Being in pain doesn't help, but I must admit I do push myself to shop and consider it exercise. I only do grocery and local stores. If I go otherwise, I have to sit for many sessions in order to get around.
I understand what you mean. I can't do much walking or standing. But if i over do it. I have pain to pay for it. I do alot of little sits in between. Than kfully their are seats through the mall to do this.

shopping is a great excuse to get out and walk.

I know I certainly need to exercise more! LOL
I think everyone could use a little bit more exercise.

I got my exercise today. I went from store to store trying to finsih up my shopping. That didn't happen since most of it was sold out or just not the right one or size. I'll try again, on Sunday.
I am going to do some shopping tonight at Walmart. i need toilet paper. Plus i am going to go to my other sisters and we are going to figure out what everyone is bringing for thanksgiving dinner. So, i will shop for that as well.
