Shopping bags: Your Secret to Toned Arms this Festive Season
Some of us absolutely love shopping during the Festive Season. Some of us do it merely because we have to. Regardless, it has to be done. Whether it be for gifts, personal items, or food ahead of the celebrations, one thing that is inevitable is SHOPPING BAGS. The joy of buying gifts and food is often tainted by the thought of having to carry the shopping bags from the car to the house (and if you are anything like me, up 3 flights of stairs!). What I have noticed however, (after loading myself up like a pack horse to try and make one trip with the bags) is that my arms always have an incredible “pump” after doing so.
Why not use this seemingly frustrating task to your benefit? Why not use your shopping bags as a tool to tone your arms? Whilst I am NOT suggesting you try carry ALL your shopping bags at once, here are some simple exercises to do before you offload them onto the kitchen floor or counter.
Live long and prosper,
