    Parking far away in LasVegas means enjoying 100+ degrees for extra minutes.
    Having Remote Start on my car means I can start the A/C from a distance and cool the car all the way down to 105 degrees before I get to it.

    I learned this from my mom!! No matter what the weather was like outside she would never park close to the store she would tell us our legs weren’t broken and that walking was good for us! I guess she was right!

    I’ve been parking in the farthest spot for a very long time. Both as a calorie burner and to keep away from bad drivers. When shopping it even gives a little strength training as you lug those shopping bags all the way out to your car.

    I do this all the time mainly to avoid people hitting me while backing up but it is a very good way to burn those extra calories!

    this is the best way to burn off those extra couple of calories that you splurged on for break or on lunch. it works great even if you add a little pep in your step you can also raise your heart rate up even more.

    I just started doing this a couple of weeks ago. I love the health benefits and it also makes it easier to get in and out of my car (people don’t usually park right up next to you that far out).

    I already park as far away as possible. I work retail so I mainly do this to stay away from all of the shopping carts and the bafoons that love to ram their door into the sides of my car. But I also see excersise as an advantage to doing this also. I go home for lunch so at the end of the day I will have walked from my car to the store, then back to my car for lunch, back to work, and then back to the car to go home. So four times everyday that I work.

    I always park far away because my mom always told me to park far away from people so they don’t hit my car…
