How to Turn House Cleaning Into a Workout

It's about time to start thinking about spring cleaning, y'all!  Next weekend is daylight savings, and you know what that means:  an extra hour of being able to see dust and dirt. 

How To Turn House Cleaning Into A Workout

​Let's be honest:  cleaning the house can be a real back breaker.  Why not let tackling your household chores might pull double duty as a calorie-burning workout, too?

Did You Know?

• 1 hour of dusting = 174 calories burned
• 1 hour of mopping the floors = 170 calories burned
• 1 hour of vacuuming = 170 calories burned

​​That means if you spent a few hours dusting, mopping and vacuuming, you could potentially shed over 500 calories!  Even doing simple daily tasks such as taking out the trash can be a good opportunity to do some bicep curls--those bags can be quite heavy--so lift them up and down a few times before disposing of them!
