Whoever thinks house cleaning is not a true blue workout has never really cleaned before. Today I have taken it upon myself to "spring clean" and I know my house surely needs it. So far I have re-arranged the living room and washed the walls, polished furniture, and hand scrubbed my floors with an old fashioned scrub brush. took me an hour and a half. Next, the kitchen...and I must say clearing out the cabinets is my least favorite task of this day. lol. But anyways, break time is over. Have a WONDERFUL day everyone!

You're burning calories plus you'll have the satisfaction of enjoying your clean house -- nice way to spend the day.

House cleaning can be a good workout. I cleaned out part of my boyfriends closet and we were carrying heavy things in and out. I think what people mean is that house cleaning shouldn't replace a workout like sprinting, heavy lifting and walking. You can house clean, but still get in some weight training in the same day

Housework and yard work are underrated, I regularly engage in both and not only are they both good burns they're both fun. I've got a little less than an acre that I push mow, plenty of dips and rises and tree roots to navigate around, and I always here my dad cracking the whip at me from when I was a kid, so it's pretty aerobic. lol

I think some people take it to the extreme where they would log doing the dishes as "house cleaning". I personally only count the heavy duty stuff ... every time I scrub my tub I feel like I ran a 5K so that's a workout for me! lol

LOL I know. I feel like someone ran me through the washer. On an incredible side note...I'm pretty sure you can eat off my floors...until tomorrow when the kids get dressed for school. :)

for some of us, due to physical disabilities washing dishes is exercise. But it has its own separate category. I know I count things now that I would never have counted before.
