Getting to the gym isn’t always easy, especially when you have a family, busy schedule and added responsibilities. However, you don’t have to let these things limit you from getting a good work out. As a matter of fact, you can burn as many calories cleaning up around the house as you do at the gym. It’s a win-win, you’ll stay active and have a clean house at the same time.
Here’s a list of basic chores and how many calories you can burn doing each.
Rearranging the closet: Ready to put away those sweaters and your heavy winter coat? Moving around some lighter options can burn about 85 calories.
Scrubbing the tub: In 15 minutes, you’ll burn more than 90 calories—and you might feel it in those arms, too!
Sweeping: A 30-minute dance with the broom will burn off 136 calories.
