SPRING CLEANING

Spring is officially here this week! It’s the traditional season for cleaning. Taking time to clean your home will help you burn extra calories!

Check out some of these chores and how many calories you could be burning:

• Sweeping: burns 220 calories per hour
• Mopping: burns 220 calories per hour
• Vacuuming: burns 175 calories per hour
• Scrubbing floors: burns 400 calories per hour
• Washing windows: burns 250 calories per hour
• Painting: burns 135 calories per hour

These figures are based on a person who weighs 150 pounds. The more you weigh, the more calories you’ll be burning! While you’re getting rid of dirt in your home, you can be burning extra calories and losing extra pounds too!
