Exercise Description
Yes, this is a bad pun off of Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly, but during the holidays a great way to stay in shape is by walking indoors at the malls. Since the economy is down and not as many people are shopping, it is a great opportunity to use the malls for something other than shopping. The controlled climate and ample open spaces of malls are a great place to walk for miles and miles without obstructions. Also, there should be a lot of scenery to keep you entertained. Our serious mall walkers tell us that the morning is the best time of the day to avoid large crowds.
Muscle Groups: Legs and back
Step Number 1
Find a mall with a lot of open space and walkways. Get there early to avoid crowds.
Step Number 2
Use the maps supplied by the malls to plan your route.
Step Number 3
A recommended distance is about three miles, but if you can't accurately survey the distance, just go by time. A brisk walk is usually about three miles per hour, so if you walk for an hour, you've gone three miles.
