This weekend’s activity is shopping. Wait, you say, how is this frugal or fitness? Walking around the mall or down a shop-filled street is a great calorie burner (there’s the fitness part). One way to up your burn is to seek out bargains and sales. By searching for stores that are offering discounts you’ll not only get more exercise, your wallet will thank you as well (there’s the frugal part). By the end of the day your legs and butt will be toned and you’ll be satisfied with the bargains you got. Bonus- all those bags you are carrying will help tone your arms.
Not up for shopping? Leave the car at home and walk to get your errands done or park as far away as possible at each errand stop, forcing you to walk more. Doing your errands via public transport? Stay standing to engage in your core muscles and get off a stop early to walk to your destination.

I've seen a few people wearing shoes that apparently help you workout while you walk (I think Skechers makes one called 'shape-ups'). Do these really work, or are there alternatives (either shoes or walking techniques) that won't cost a bundle?
