Women burn off 48,000 calories -- by shopping
The average woman burns off 48,000 calories a year… just by going shopping, it has been revealed.
Experts found women make up to 132 shopping trips every 12 months - spending a total of 159 hours and 56 minutes walking at a fast pace.
Monthly shopping trips include two jaunts to the high street to buy clothes, five trips to get the weekly food shop and four trips to the corner shop.
During this time they burn off approximately five calories-a-minute - a total of 47,700 calories over a 12 month period.
That's the equivilant of 25 days worth of women's recommended intake of 1,940 calories a day… or in terms most women can appreciate that's 500 glasses of red wine.
A spokeswoman for Skinny Cow, which conducted the survey of over 3,000 women, said: "With the festive celebrations well and truly over, women across the country are now looking for the perfect fitness regime for the New Year.
"We all know that women love to shop, so what better way to get into shape than to exercise at the January sales.
"We're all looking for more fun ways to get fit - so it's great news that a trip to the shops can help."
