Just what every woman has been waiting to hear: You can burn as many calories on a shopping trip as you can in a gym session.According to a new study carried out by the Golden Square Shopping Centre in Warrington, Pennsylvania, the average female shopper walks 2.02 miles during a trip to the mall. If walking a mile burns off an average of 100 calories, each shopping trip burns 202 calories. That’s the same as 20 minutes of moderate intensity cardio.
This is not to say that shopping should replace your trips to the gym, but at the very least, you can now go to the mall without feeling guilty. Just tell the boyfriend that you’re going out to burn some calories!
