Shop your way into shape You might think doing the Christmas shopping is an inhumane exercise, fraught with tension, sharp elbows and levels of spending which only Victoria Beckham can justify. But if you think about it as a way to lose physical pounds, as well as paper ones, then the challenge becomes slightly more rewarding. It's true there are few tasks more stressful than trudging up and down the high street looking for Christmas gifts. But the rare plus point is that leaving the car (and heels) at home, and donning your trainers instead, can bring waist-whittling rewards. • At a moderate walking pace you can burn around 287 calories - and that's without counting the workout you'll give your arms as you haul those bags up and down the high street.
• Look for chances to workout even harder, such as treating the crowds as a slalom course instead! Whip in and out of the shoppers and give yourself a full body workout.
• Don't be tempted to take any shortcuts while on the move. Avoid the lifts and walk up and down the escalators remembering that every calorie counts.
• Use as much of your body as you can when you walk and be conscious of your muscles. Walk tall, with your shoulders back, abdomen tight and buttocks clenched.
• After the shop, bring in the carrier bags one or two at a time rather than trying to balance the whole lot in one go. You'll burn more calories going back and forth.
