That depends on your attitude. This morning I attacked the housework with gusto, vacuuming, mopping, doing the washing, cleaning the bathrooms and even washing our couch (white leather, obviously bought before the little one came along!). All this was done along side some corny dance moves to one of my favorite CDs, and I had fun.
If you think of housework as a chore, change your attitude to thinking of it as an opportunity and you will have a lot more fun getting the work done. It is an opportunity to get moving and burn a few extra calories off. Don’t believe me? Then check out this Daily Mail Online article.
So while a jog or gym workout might burn more calories, next time you find yourself sitting around bored or not doing the housework because you can’t be bothered, think of the bonus calories burnt. Who knows you might find this gives you the motivation to do those extra jobs that usually get left undone.
