Here in Ohio it looks as though it has decided to finally be Spring...and I am not the only one who is saying "IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!" Well you know what comes with the change of seasons and improvement of weather=SPRING CLEANING! Did you know that housework is a great way to burn those calories? Besides going to the gym this was another way that helped me lose my weight! So if the weather is not motivation enough to get that cleaning done...here is some more info to get you started: These examples are based on a person who weighs 150 pounds. Remember, you will burn more if you weigh more, and burn fewer calories if you weigh less.
Gardening- 49 calories/10 mins; Climbing stairs- 175 calories/10 mins; Cleaning Gutters- 60 calories/10 mins; Loading/Unloading Car- 18 calories/5 mins; Putting Away Groceries- 30 calories/10 mins; Ironing- 38 calories/15 mins; Rake Lawn- 90 calories/20 mins; Washing Car- 102 calories/20 mins; Mopping- 102 calories/20 mins; Push Mow- 148 calories/30 mins; Rearranging Furniture- 150 calories/20 mins; Remodeling- 198 calories/30 mins; Basic Housework- 99 calories/30 mins
If you are unable to get a workout in-start cleaning!! : ) If you're moving, you're burning!! Use calorie counters such as http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc to help you keep track! And remember output must be more than intake! : )
