Cleaning As a Way to Exercise

This New Year, tackle two resolutions in one — make a pact to get and keep your house clean, and take a step toward getting in shape. When you perform simple household chores, you can burn almost 300 calories per hour. Here are some ideas to get you started on shaping up your house and body.

Start Your Vacuum!

Vacuuming works all sorts of muscles in your upper body. And when you vacuum the stairs, you're getting your legs into the action, too.

Get on the Floor

Mopping floors for 30 minutes can burn 143 calories for a 140-pound person. That's actually more calories burned than walking for the same amount of time at a 3.5-mph pace. For extra credit (and extra burned calories), get down on your hands and knees and really scrub.

Wash Those Windows

It might be too cold in some parts of the country to wash the outsides of your windows, but you still can wash the insides. Window washing is great for toning arms and shoulders.
