Housework
needs doing so why not use it as part of your exercise
routine? You may be surprised to learn that most household
chores involve burning off calories.
Even
sitting down watching TV can burn up to 100 calories per
hour. Standing increases that to 140 calories per hour.
Energetic housework can burn from 150 to 250 calories
per hour, and it doesn't cost a penny and improves your
surroundings.
