After deciding last minute that I needed to spend a relaxing Sunday morning with thousands of other shoppers I headed for Ikea, the only place on a Sunday morning where extremely focused people are out shopping.

If you’er looking to incorporate some shopping and a work out, give yourself 20 minutes to get to the check outs, keep a brisk power walking pace. In this time you will cover at least 3km in the meandering cascade of Sweedish lifestyle designer sets. You will have to try numerous combinations of exit strategies to find your way out but don’t cheat by using

For an added core work out, fill the flat bed trolly with some book cases and navigate the trolly around the thousands of shoppers, be careful to miss the cuddly toys and the not to be missed designer plant holders.

Also try out trying to find your car in the car park, jogging aisle by aisle.

So throw in a little incidental exercise into the mix with your Ikea shopping experience but do not forget to power walk.
