Who knew?

Housecleaning burns calories. I'm not talking a ton of calories, but it does burn an efficient amount. I've come to realize that cleaning this house makes me sweat....A LOT. Which is a very good thing (and it helps with the weight loss.) In our last house, I never worked up a sweat while cleaning. Even when I would work and clean that house from top to bottom, never did a bead of sweat build on my forehead. But, this house, oh man. Maybe it's because it's all tile floors (minus bedrooms) or maybe it's because of the sheer size of this thing, but sweeping, moping, dusting, cleaning counters, and doing laundry makes me sweat profusely. So, never assume that house cleaning is an easy task. Sweating while doing an activity = elevated heart rate + calories burned = exercise.+ proper diet = weight loss.
