Researchers say it is! The great news is that chores help you burn calories while you get things done! If you do them often enough, you won't have to go to the gym! Try turning on the tunes and moving briskly; add squats, biceps curls, and other moves as you go. You can burn 200 calories an hour mopping, vacuuming, or washing windows — the same as medium-intensity aerobics; 400 calories per hour of mowing the lawn — the same as cycling; and 500 calories per hour of washing and waxing the car — the same as jumping rope!

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I think pain burns calories; and I'd say at least an extra 100 for hitting the floor. I'm teasing of course, I don't really know the answer to that. I would advise you try not to make it an exercise program though.

Getting up and walking, some, falling, probably not many, getting back up off the floor, at least the equivalent of an ice cream sundae. Preserving your dignity, a whole platter of profiteroles with extra custard on the side. But I agree with Angie. Doesn't sound like a good exercise program to me. Z, hoping you're ok!
