Housework, Not Such A Bad Deal.

An hour a day might keep the pounds away...

The following are apparently based on a person weighing 70 kg, doing any of these activities for half an hour;

  • Dusting...70 calories
  • Gardening...176 calories
  • Grocery shopping...106 calories
  • House cleaning...106 calories
  • Laundry...70 calories.
  • Mowing the lawn manually, no ride along...141 calories
  • Playing with kids at the playground...141 calories
  • Cooking...70 calories
  • Shoveling snow...211 calories
  • Hoovering...70 calories
  • Raking up leaves...141 calories
  • Walking while pushing a pram...70 calories
  • Ironing...75 calories
  • Window cleaning...110 calories
  • Mopping the floor...157 calories

The correct number of calories burned do differ from person to person, but it does look as if a turn about the house might beat circuit-training at gym...Happy hoovering!
