Walking down the road in the morning, climbing steps to your office or even doing laps at home can help burn some of the calories you have stored up in your body. Every day, the body needs to burn out some of these calories and this can’t happen if you just sit around doing nothing. There are certain activities which are not vigorous but can definitely help you burn more calories and they can be done without you heading for the gym to some complicated, beeping hunk of metal.
Here are some of such activities that we know can be very helpful:
1. Shopping
Do you love shopping? – Then shop till you drop. Pushing a cart up and down the supermarket for an hour will burn a lot of calories and you will get to know the price list of a lot of healthful stuff. So taking a frequent visit to the mall will be good advice, even if you’re not buying anything, window shopping isn’t such a bad idea.
2. Cleaning
Do your furniture, utensils and other household properties fail the clean test? Then get ready for at least 30mins of cleaning and you will be ready the next time a sanitary agent stops by for an inspection. You will not only be happy about how clean your house will be but also on how much calories you have actually burnt.
3. Laundry
It might be a really boring turn off, but washing and folding clothes for 30 minutes can actually help you burn up to 72 calories. Spend less money on paying someone else to do your laundry and in turn burn more calories in the process.
4. Sweeping
Do not cry over spilled milk or anything, especially when 30 minutes of sweeping and mopping can help burn up to 153 calories. So get your hands dirty and go burn them calories, Start working on moving those bones and swinging the broom and be sure to lose weight without even trying so hard.
5. Sleep
Even when you are sleeping you’re burning calories. After all the activities you have carried out, you just have to shut your eyes and erase 360 calories by having a good 7 to 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
Conclusion
Be it cleaning, mopping, walking or even sleeping, you might see them as boring and common everyday things, but they may be saving your life unknowingly. Storing up calories without burning them can be very harmful to your body and health. Therefore, start loving your everyday chores and you will have a happy clean home and life.
