RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Do you have holiday shopping planned this weekend with no time for the gym? No problem! Here's what to do.

1) DRESS WARM, and park far away from the store entrance instead of looking for the first spot.

2) Shopping Downtown? Walk, walk, walk! No cabs.

3) ALWAYS take the stairs instead of elevators/escalators.

4) Carry your shopping bags to the car instead of using a cart. The added resistance while walking burns even more calories.

5) Bring small, simple snacks (unsalted/raw nuts, fruit) with you, so you are not tempted to hit up the food court.
