How household chores can help you lose weight

Wash your dishes by hand

This can come as a great news for those of us who are dishwasher-deficient, especially if you’re trying to burn some serious calories. Washing utensils can help you shed a minimum of 125 calories per hour. So, skip the dishwasher and take the sponge in your hands and scrub those dishes and cups to keep them sparkling clean. Add a little bit of dancing and a few shoulder rolls as you wash those dishes. This activity will help you to get your arms in shape easily and effectively.
