Can You Really Burn Calories By Cleaning Your
Home?
2

• For many of us, the battle against our expanding
  waistlines is a daily one and often, no matter
  what changes we make to our diet or how we try to
  take regular exercise, we continue to gain
  weight. But what if we upped the ante when doing
  our cleaning chores around the home and burned
  calories that way?
• Cleaning your home in a lacklustre fashion will
  not help your waistline to decrease, but putting
  some energy into it and working up a sweat while
  vacuuming or mopping the floors, will help you to
  burn up to as many as 100 calories per chore.

• Shed some weight by blitzing your bathroom
• Cleaning your bathroom thoroughly can really help
  you to work up a sweat, particularly if you close
  the windows! For a sauna experience while
  cleaning, turn on the shower and leave it running
  to build up a roomful of steamnot recommended
  for asthmatics though, or anyone with breathing
  difficulties!
• 35 minutes of brisk top to bottom cleaning in
  your bathroom will be just as, if not more
  effective, than the same amount of time spent on
  the treadmill, and with cleaning, youll have
  achieved something too.

• Forget about the dishwasher and scrub the dishes
  yourself
• While its all too easy to stash your dirty pots,
  pans and crockery in the dishwasher, cleaning
  them at the sink instead will help you burn a few
  calories, but you have to put some elbow grease
  into it!
• Get the lawnmower out and work up a sweat
• While not technically classed as cleaning,
  keeping your garden tidy if you have one, can be
  just as important, especially if you have
  frequent visitors or your garden can be
  overlooked by others. Mowing the lawn is a great
  way of burning calories and helping you to get
  some good old fashioned fresh air, too.

• However, this is most effective with a mower that
  you need to push rather than an electric one
• Clean your windows until they gleam and youre
  ready to collapse!
• Only the very fittest of folks could possibly
  clean windows without working up a sweat, and if
  you really put some elbow grease into it and
  eliminate all the streaks and grime, youll find
  that you can burn a minimum of 100 calories in
  just 30 minutes. Keep going and clean every
  window in your home for a beach body in next to
  no time!

• Vacuum like youve never vacuumed before!
• While your pets and other members of the
  household may not enjoy the constant thrumming of
  the vacuum cleaner run it around your entire
  home for as long as the task takes, and youll
  raise your heartrate and burn some calories, for
  sure.
• While it may not seem as fulfilling as a trip to
  the gym or a swim in the local pool, cleaning
  your home can be just as effective if youre
  trying to lose weight and burn calories, provided
  you do it with gusto, and on a regular basis.
