9 Daily Chores Which Will Help You Lose Weight
6. Redecorate and renovate
Paint walls and shift around the furniture in your house to give your home a new look and feel. This is sure to help you bust those extra calories. Usually, such activities take a lot of time, so this is like a workout in itself for you.
7. Mop the floor
A home chore that truly burns a lot of calories with all that standing and movement around the house. Doing this everyday for 15-20 minutes ensures that your daily fitness goals are met, without having to take out special time for going to the gym. Listen to some music while doing it, and you are sure to be dancing as well while mopping the floors, making it an even better workout for you.
8. Vacuum all corners
This will include a lot of bending and stretching to reach all difficult corners of the house. Perfect for mornings, vacuuming not only cleans up your house, but also makes you feel refreshed with all the stretched muscles in the body. You’ll be burning a lot of calories by constantly holding and moving the machines as well.
9. Wash the dishes
Yes, avoid the dishwasher and do it yourself. You will be standing while doing it, and that helps you burn more calories than doing any job sitting. Plus, there’s a lot more calorie burning in store when you wipe off those utensils and arrange them in your kitchen.
To think of it logically, all these chores do not take up a lot of your time. In fact, you might even doubt their effectiveness at first, thinking how these basic tasks would help you lose weight. But it’s been scientifically proven that these home chores really do burn out a lot of calories in a short span of time. So go ahead, be more active and more of a cleanliness freak to lose that extra weight that’s been bothering you all this while.
