SHOP SMART If you’re heading out to shop, don’t wear high heels or unsupportive shoes, but choose shoes that are supportive and comfortable. Instead of carrying heavy bags from store to store, plan trips out to the car to drop bags off to avoid back and shoulder pain. While shopping online, make sure you get up, stretch, and walk around a bit at least twice an hour. Watch your posture, and make sure your feet are flat on the floor, your monitor is at eye level, and your chair is supportive.
