They are now saying that housework can count as an exercise (well I already knew that), and some tasks can actually help to improve your strength and flexibility.

Apparently ironing isn’t at the top of the list for exercise but you can burn around 55 calories and it can make a significant difference to your core strength.
Vacuuming, however, can boost your core strength and can give your heart a good workout AND you could burn up around 100 calories each time. Yipeee, that means another KitKat bar for me…:)
Dusting and polishing will burn around 90 calories and helps increase flexibility as you reach up to corners and around furniture.
Changing the bed is also a good cardio workout and can burn up around 70 calories.
Finally mopping the floor is another good cardio workout for your heart and can burn around 100 calories.
Sooo, if I did all of the above on the same day that would mean I would have an extra 415 calories burnt up !!
