How you could burn 10,000 calories by cleaning your house

Window and laundry squats

Doing your washing and cleaning the windows are sure-fire ways to get a toned bum, legs, and arms.

Sarah said: “Perform squats while cleaning windows and blinds, lifting the washing basket or when cleaning inside your kitchen cupboards.

“Squat low to the ground (feet shoulder-width apart, back straight, sitting down into your bottom) to get water on your cloth, and then stretch up high moving arms in a circular motion to sculpt your shoulders!

“This will give your arms and legs the perfect dual workout. If you need to get up high, use stepladders and ensure you do 15 repetitions up and down the steps for lean legs.”

Scrub up and press up

Push-ups burn about seven calories a minute, so any time you’re near to the ground you should try and incorporate a few.

Sarah said: “While you’re on your hands and knees, take the opportunity to do at least 10 reps of press-ups.”

This exercise will strengthen your shoulders, arms, lower back, and core.
