For many people, exercising to lose weight is a difficult and hard-to-maintain method. However, daily cleaning of the room is inevitable, so why not combine cleaning with exercise? Of course, there are some tips for exercising while cleaning. Let's take a look!
Cleaning for Weight Loss: Three Essential Allies
1. Face mask. Cleaning the floor will increase the dust and dirt, especially when combined with exercise, it can be quite uncomfortable. Remember to prepare a face mask!
2. Slimming cream. Before starting, apply slimming cream that helps burn fat. It will enhance the calorie-burning effect!
3. Plastic wrap. Wrap a layer of plastic wrap around the thighs and abdomen, which are areas that appear to be the most fat. After cleaning, you will sweat a lot and feel a sense of accomplishment.
Vacuuming, Sweeping, Mopping: Stand in a lunge position to tighten the lower body
Many people are used to bending over and hunching their backs while sweeping. However, this puts a lot of strain on the back muscles. It is better to take a step forward and maintain a lunge position, try to keep your chest up, and focus the weight on your hips and legs to strengthen the lower body muscles.
Dusting: Do floor exercises to tone the arms and back muscles
When dusting the table, stand facing the table and push forward with both hands straight. After extending the arms to the limit, slowly bring them back, just like doing floor exercises. This is very effective for toning the arms and back.
Clearing Clutter: Squat and then stand up to exercise the buttocks and legs
When moving objects, do not bend over casually to pick them up for the sake of convenience. Instead, squat down, pick up the object, and then slowly stand up. This can exercise the lower abdomen and buttocks. When standing up, tiptoe a bit to also work the calf muscles.
Washing and Hanging Clothes: Turn your back to the clothesline and twist your waist muscles
When drying and hanging clothes, turn your back to the clothesline and twist your waist and body to hang the clothes. This will work the muscles on the sides of the waist that are not often used.
Washing Dishes: Kick and lift your legs while washing to exercise the lower body
While washing dishes, alternate kicking and lifting your legs, holding each position for 10 seconds. This can tone the buttocks and legs. Additionally, you can also place a small pillow between your knees to tighten the thighs.
