Here’s a workout that will put a little shape up in your holiday shopping!  Get the most out of your trip to the market with our grocery store workout:

Cardio

Kick off your grocery store workout by parking in the spot farthest away from the store’s entrance.

Walk briskly from your car to the grocery store to get your heart pumping.

Grocery Glutes

While pushing your cart, take a slighter longer step than usual and squeeze the glutes before taking the next step. Alternate legs and keep a regular walking pace. Remember to focus on squeezing that glute muscle before switching legs.  Continue to walk this way throughout your shopping trip. (Click on image to watch a video demonstration of this move.)

Grab-a-Gallon

While pushing your cart, keep abs engaged and hold a gallon of milk, juice, or detergent down at your side. Slowly raise the gallon up and bring it toward your shoulder.  Slowly lower it back to starting position. Continue this exercise for at least 2 sets of 12 on each arm. Read the rest of this entry »
