WINDOW SHOPPING TO BURN MORE CALORIES

Here is your excuse to go window shopping! Whether you are looking for a gift, something for yourself, or you just like to look, window shopping is recommended to help you burn calories. Italian researchers have discovered that walking for about 30 seconds then briefly pausing, like looking at a display, uses 20% to 60% more energy than keeping a steady pace. They say the reason is that restarting movement takes more effort than staying in motion, forcing your body to work harder without you even noticing. Too hot to window shop outside? Find an indoor mall and window shop your way through the mall.
