Keep Your Home Clean, Keep Yourself Fit!

• If cleaning our homes is something that we must
  do and it really is, no matter how much we hate
  it we might as well let it do us some good at
  the same time. However, there is little benefit
  to our health in taking a slow and laidback
  approach to cleaning to burn calories, the
  cleaning should at least be vigorous and raise
  our heart rate a little.
• Research has shown that cleaning your entire home
  thoroughly (and somewhat vigorously), can help
  you to burn more calories than if you had run a
  marathon of at least 5 Kilometres. Combining a
  few simple household tasks that we often perform
  without even thinking about them, can lead to the
  burning of up to 600 calories, without even
  having to step outside or venture to the gym.

• Tests recently conducted showed that those who
  spent just 2 hours cleaning their homes
  dusting, mopping, vacuuming and cleaning windows
  burnt a total of 602 calories. When compared to
  the calories burnt during a marathon of 5
  kilometres which amounted to almost 400
  cleaning came out as the clear winner in terms
  of calories burnt and effort put in.
• When you consider that many busy folks dont have
  the time to put on their running gear and set off
  on a marathon, but most spend at least a couple
  of hours a week cleaning, it really is a no
  brainer. While other forms of exercise clearly
  have their positive aspects, and many people

• enjoy going to the gym, swimming or running
  marathons, if sports and outside activities are
  not your thing, then simply shift your energies
  to cleaning your home and not only will you burn
  calories and help keep yourself fit, but your
  home will look the cleanest it has ever looked!
• That said, its important that you do put some
  elbow grease into your cleaning routine, as
  simply passing a duster over your ornaments or
  wiping your kitchen surfaces, will not be a
  sufficient cardio vascular activity, and will not
  raise your heartbeat. Not only will a vigorous
  cleaning schedule keep your heart rate up, but it
  will help you to tone your entire body too, and
  you will begin to build muscles and look a lot
  fitter in general.

• So, when doing your regular cleaning tasks, try
  to ensure that you focus on using all your
  muscles, even if it means sucking in your tummy
  and clenching your buttocks! Do this every time
  you clean something or give your home a spring
  clean, and youll begin to look and feel fitter
  in next to no time.
• If youre not interested in keeping your home
  clean or keeping fit, then there is an even
  simpler solution use the services of a
  professional cleaning company and have them keep
  your home clean while you sit back and relax!
