CLEANING
You probably know that the U.S. Surgeon General recommends 30 minutes of moderate exercise at
least five days a week to maintain good health. But did you know that any kind of physical activity
counts, including housework?
Believe or not, dusting, sweeping, mopping, making beds and carrying laundry all add to a lot of
“incidental” activity. This kind of activity is view as potentially more beneficial than “official” workouts.
The reason is that you are more likely to stick with moderate – intensity as opposed to high-intensity
activity over the long term that helps maintain a healthy weight.
You can lose weight while you clean your house but it depends on your weight and how hard you
work, you can burp up to 250 calories during an hour of housework activities, and even more when
gardening or shoveling snow. Another benefit of housecleaning is that it exercises all the major muscle
groups. Just consider the wide range of movements as walking, stretching, bending, and lifting when
you make activities like making beds, vacuuming, washing windows, putting away dishes and taking
out the trash.
Remember that housework shouldn´t be your only form of exercise, but it can definitely supplement
your other workouts and help you keep the weight off.
