Happy SPRING! Time to open the windows, let the sun hit your face, and get in the best. shape. ever. for summer! Cleaning the house in itself is a workout, but SPRING CLEANING takes that to a whole new level! Put a few hours aside to do some of these extra chores, pull up your favorite playlist or podcast, and get ready for a little extra calorie burn!
- Vacuuming/ Mopping
- Most people use their arms and shoulders when vacuuming. If you’re looking for more leg work, think about making rows across your carpet, like you would with a lawnmower. Feel free to throw some lunges in there too!
- Re-Arranging Furniture
- Ready to do some heavy lifting? Side tables, accent chairs, coffee tables are great lifting challenges to try on your own. For bigger items, grab a family member and tag- team on either side. Think about squat form- keep your posture, chest up and back straight. Sit back into your heels when you reach to pick it up!
- Cleaning Shelves
- Use a stepladder every chance you get! For those lower shelves, keep your legs moving. Try to avoid leaning over, bend your knees to squat, or kneel down instead.
- Dusting
- Reach extra high to get those cobwebs off ceiling fans and light fixtures. This is a great stretch to open up your muscles and joints.
- Yard Work
- Not only is fresh air good for the soul, but working outside can be a really effective workout! Activities such as raking, pulling weeds, carrying heavy bags of mulch across your yard, planting, etc.
