5 Ways to Lose Weight Doing Household Chores
4. Repeat actions
Bend to take one clothing item from the tub, stretch to dry it on the rope. Bend again for the second one, stretch again to dry it, and so on. Make repeated actions out of all your daily chores to make them seem like sets of exercise. This may make you feel as if you are part of some assembly line factory unit, but trust the weight loss that comes with it! Similarly, while cleaning bookshelves, dust and clean one book, place it on the rack, clean the other one, place that one on the rack and so on, instead of cleaning them all together at once and then arranging them. The repeated methods make your muscles work more, leading to better burning of calories.
5. Take up more work
While outsourcing the tasks to family members or some kind of helper is always good, try and take up most of the tasks yourself, such as walking the dog, dusting and cleaning or painting walls. These kinds of things don’t take a lot of time and can easily be managed within existing schedules. When you don’t have the time to go the gym, these kinds of home chores help you fulfill your fitness and calorie burning goals.
The whole idea is to lay emphasis on being more active. Stop being lazy and lethargic and try and have fun while doing these home chores. You will soon be cleaning your way to a slim and smart figure!
