Do you find yourself getting less exercise during the cooler months? If so, you may also notice you gain a few extra pounds when it's cold outside. But there is something you can do, and it's something you don't even need to make any extra time for.

Here's what you do...

When you're going out holiday shopping this season; instead of driving around busy parking lots looking for the closest spot to park your car, park farther away and take a little walk. Think of how many extra calories you can burn shopping for your Thanksgiving groceries this year? Do the same when you go shopping on Black Friday, and every time you shop this holiday season.

If you are really feeling motivated...Take the steps instead of the elevator, and get in the habit of never wasting your time looking for the closest parking spot anymore.
