Could your house or apartment use a good cleaning? Got a basement or spare room thats packed full of who-knows-what? Well, roll up your sleeves and get to it! Here's why: Housework — like vacuuming, sweeping, lifting boxes, and gardening — is actually an effective calorie burner! Depending on the types of task, you can burn up to 400 calories an hour simply by accomplishing household tasks that need to get done anyway. By mowing the lawn, for example, you can burn up to 300 calories per hour; by sweeping, you can hit up to 250 calories per hour. Set aside a time to tackle a project around your living space that needs doing — maybe a closet needs organizing or you can finally get around to hanging that new shelf — and work away until you finish. Just like that, you've completed your workout for the day and your home looks and feels more organized! You can't beat that! And still Nic would rather ride her bike and walk the dog...
