shopping for shoes is good for you!

Yes, we all know this already.

But now it's been medically proven. According to a study done in several cities around England, shopping for shoes boosted women's heart rates up as high as 120 beats per minute when they found a pair they were excited about.

That's what you can expect from a good workout.

And get this... it was specifically shoes that did it. Other clothes didn't get the heart racing as much.

I can see new exercise plans on the horizon.

I just showed this to my husband....he nearly fell over laughing LOL. Well, I guess I have found a form of excercise I enjoy!

That's amazing!
Does that apply to online shoe-shopping? (Ahem.)

This news has made my day. With all the money I save by not paying a gym membership, I can go workout the fun way.

Yes, it is. When I don't buy shoes, I lose my mind. :P

I cannot imagine not shopping for shoes. I dream of shoes, always have since I was a kid, weird as it is, I need beautiful shoes.

My mind is divided on this point.
