The “Spring Clean” Workout Plan by Stacy Berman
Clean House Cardio!
Roll up your sleeves and prepare to get a little dirty! Springtime is the perfect chance to clean out the house or revamp your garden – and it will be a huge payback when it’s time for a spring picnic!
* Painting a room…318 calories per hour
* Cleaning the windows…300 calories per hour
* Gardening (watering plants, planning seeds)…600 calories per hour
* Moving the lawn…300 calories per hour
* Washing the car…300 calories per hour
Work Up a Sweat in the Great Outdoors!
With warmer temperatures, outdoor activities get physical in the form of water sports and backyard games. During a barbeque, be sure to enjoy a hot dog as long as you get a long game of Frisbee in!
* Playing Frisbee…210 calories per hour
* Playing Golf…300 calories per hour
* Sailing…200 calories per hour
* Fishing…300 calories per hour
NO excuses now! GET up and get MOVING!

Exactly, first, the house’s improved. Secondly, you get to burn calories. That gives lotsa satisfaction at the end of the day.
I normally sweep, mop and wipe off dusts around the house. Sometimes, I’ll brush the bathroom and wash my car.
As for outdoors, I swim and play racquet games. I can sweat buckets after each session.
April 24th, 2008 at 8:07 amWhat I really love about working out with cleaning is how it not only is great exercise without really considering it to be “exercise”, but also how accomplished you feel when you’re done! I love being able to incorporate exercise with actual tasks that really need to get done. Thanks for the tips!
April 24th, 2008 at 9:27 amYes, I agree…burn calories and in turn get a spotless home!
Sometimes, I just get that urge to go crazy and for like 2 hours, I am running from room to room cleaning everything and everywhere and I am sure I burn tons of calories and my house looks great!
April 24th, 2008 at 1:16 pmI love what a lot of good ideas you have thought up there to kill two birds with one stone. And i think if you can involve children also in that activity it can become more fun as well! (Always assuming that your kids are old enough to actually help and not merely get in the way
)
