Spring Cleaning

I would guess most of us (including yours truly) don’t look this good cleaning house. If you do…hats off!

 

But you can! Spring cleaning may seem like a total drag, but serious scrubbing can burn some serious calories. Shape up while you clean up! So, just how many calories can you burn while cleaning? For every 30 minutes, you can burn 77 calories ironing, 148 calories mowing the lawn (with a push mower), 85 calories dusting, and 77 calories burning dishes.  So bust out your dust rag and clean your way to a slimmer, sexier you.

A Great Workout…

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

My girlfriends and I recently had a weekend getaway down to St. George, Utah. We stayed at a gorgeous resort and enjoyed spa treatments, lounging by the pool, shopping, and Utah mountain biking.

I will be the first to admit that I was not at all excited about going mountain biking especially on what was supposed to be a relaxing vacation with no kids or husbands! So much to my surprise, I was probably the one who enjoyed biking the most. Not only is it an amazing work out (you can burn nearly 450 calories each hour) but you have a great feeling of achievement and fulfillment once finished. You know that great feeling you get after you have completed hard work? Mountain biking gives you that amazing sense of accomplishment after much effort and sweat!
