How household chores can help you lose weight

Vacuum that fat away!

Turn vacuuming into an exercise regime. How do you do it? Simple. Perform forward lunges when you take the vacuum cleaner forward. Put in around 15 to 20 minutes of lunges when you vacuum and you will have enough thigh and hip workout. If you want to make it more effective, quicken the pace of lunging and vacuuming. You get double benefits out of this. Firstly, you get a brisk cardio workout. Secondly, your job is done more quickly.
