Are you a sexy housewife? Are you looking for health insurance? Forget Billy Blanks. You can get fit by ironing, dusting and vacuuming.
According to Consumer Reports, obesity and controlling your weight can be dealt with if you are willing to clean house.
Generally, an exercise program to help control weight involves doing an activity that uses about 150 calories each day (or 1,000 calories a week). You don’t have to go running to use calories. Doing daily chores can also use calories.
How can you burn an extra 150 calories per day? Doing the following for 30 minutes will burn calories.
Ironing is light activity. It uses about 69 calories.
Cleaning and dusting is light activity. It uses about 75 calories.
Painting and decorating is moderate activity. It uses about 90 calories.
Vaccuuming is moderate activity. It uses about 105 calories.
Mowing the lawn is moderate activity. It uses about 165 calories.
If you want to step it up a bit, consider the following.
Strolling 1 mile in 30 minutes is light activity. It uses about 75 calories.
Walking 1.5 miles in 30 minutes is moderate activity. It uses about 99 calories.
Playing golf is moderate activity. It uses about 129 calories.
Playing doubles tennis is moderate activity. It uses about 150 calories.
Swimming is vigorous activity. A slow crawl uses about 240 calories.
Running is vigorous activity. Running at 6 miles an hour uses about 300 calories.
Works for me.
Lose weight, get in shape, qualify for a better rate for health insurance.
This can work for husbands too . . .
