Why do some people walk laps around the shopping mall for exercise, then stop at Cinnabon?

Why do some people walk laps around the shopping mall for exercise, then stop at Cinnabon? | Kind of counter productive if you ask me. I see them just walking around the shopping mall, NOT breaking a sweat, talkin' about blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda, then Cinnabon & goodies after the last lap. It just doesn't make sense to me?! What do you think? Should I tell them what's the major flaw in their exercise routine? Should I keep minding my own business?

Kind of like ordering two Big Macs and a diet coke.

(I could go for a Cheeseburger right now)

You're better off with the corn syrup than the diet.

I don't know because I don't do any exercise being a geek. But, I do have an appetite for cinnabon after looking at those pictures :)

Ok Thanks :) ... I didn't know there was a limit of how much you could give.

It's just a daily limit.

What are you doing following around the lady mall walkers is what I want to know. ;) Unless they are wearing numbers on the back of their sweatpants, I don't know how you know which ones are hard core walkin' and which ones are about to tank up on Cinnabons and Starbucks.

Personally, I haven't been in a mall in over 5 years, except to get from the parking garage to the IMAX theatre inside. I'm an outdoors person... I need real sunlight from time to time.

Who said anything about Starbucks?!? My aunt & uncle walk the mall!! My dad & stepmom walk the mall! Cinnabon is the place they park after the last lap =0p...

The scary part is --- they're NOT alone.

I can't imagine anyone choking down a Cinnabon without something to wash it down with, that's all.

@ageekmom You don't have to stalk someone in the mall to know they are doing a exercise walk throughout it. The first time I saw it was when I went to the mall to get Chick-Fil-A, and these two ladies would walk past my table every 5 mins, go to the entrance, and do it over again.

Yes, but you have to stalk someone to know not only that they exercise throughout the mall but also end their exercise at Cinnabon. As Robert mentioned subsequently, though, he knows the people's habits because they are his relatives.
