With this article we will see just that. Finally some good news, here are the tips to have perfect buttocks and abs while practicing house cleaning. All the more so if expensive work and demanding family routines are intertwined in our life, the time available is really scarce. The objects of daily use to carry out household chores will become the tools of our home gym.
Finally good news, here are the tips to have perfect buttocks and abs while practicing house cleaning
How many calories can you burn with about 2 hours of housework? As many as 600, which, data in hand, are about double that of a 5 kilometer race. Not bad if you think that doing so will benefit our body and at the same time also the house.
The real secret to burning more calories from home activities is to find the right pace. For example, if you clean the windows, alternating the arms, at a brisk pace we will feel our biceps working. The calories we will consume will be around 150.
To make your legs and buttocks work while cleaning the stairs, we recommend this procedure:
- first clean all the stairs with the broom going downhill, then go up again practicing a sort of squat;
- go back down with the vacuum cleaner to remove the smallest dust particles and go up again as before;
- go back down again to give the rag, waiting for them to dry do the squat while standing and then go up again.
In this way we should necessarily do the stairs up and down 3 times and at the same time train and tone our buttocks and legs.
Choosing motivating and well-rhythmic music will make house cleaning less burdensome and will provide us with the right rhythm to integrate with the workout.
One last tip
An easy ploy is to divide the house into zones or rooms. Once you have finished cleaning a room, implementing the aforementioned tips, you dedicate 10 minutes of training before proceeding with the next one. For example, if in the room before we cleaned a lot of windows and, consequently, our arms, in the 10 minutes of waiting we could train the abdomen.
If we train our legs in the next room, because we have to lift weights or climb stairs, we could skip in place while we wait. And so on.
Pay attention to when lifting the weights, the effort must be made exclusively on the legs and not on the back. The correct movement is as follows: bend over your legs while keeping your back straight, and get up in the same way. However, we advise you to be very careful, even if the ideal would be to always contact the doctor who will be able to give us the right indications.
