Housework



Pretty tired today, was doing housework for the whole day. Actually you don have to pay extra money for those exclusive gym rooms, or purposely go to jog or play sports, housework does burn calories and considered a form of exercises.

By cleaning your house, not only burn calories but also improve your body strength. For example, to keep your arms shapely, you may dust, polish or sweep, doing laundry helps to tone thighs (washing by hands but not with machine ok), mopping floors can tone shoulders and biceps etc.

Let’s see how many calories can be burned per half-hour by doing housework accordingly: Making the bed 68, Cooking 85, Sweeping 112, Vacuuming 119, Rearranging furniture 204, Washing the car 102, Gardening 136, Washing windows 102.

So don’t see housework as a waste of time, see it as a way to improve fitness!
