Don’t have time to workout?  Strap on some weights when you clean up!  Put some lunges or squats into your cleaning and you have a workout.

I take 2-pound weights, strap them to my wrists and ankles, turn on some music, and clean.

WAX ON, WAX OFF

You can get in a workout the Karate Kid way – “wax on, wax off.”

Do a squat and reach to wipe clean.  Switch arms so that both get a workout.

VACUUMING

When you are vacuuming, do some lunges.

Switch hands.

YARDWORK

Working in the yard is great exercise, too.  According to the National Heart Lung and Blood institute, raking leaves for 30 minutes is considered similar to a brisk walk.  Yard work can help you build your upper- and lower-body strength and core stability.

These are just a few tips on how to integrate a workout into your cleaning up inside and outside of the house.  For more ways to make your exercise fit into your life, follow us on Twitter @TheSummitEdge.  See how working with us can help you reach your goals and enjoy your workouts more.  Call us for a free consultation at 561-325-8363 or email us at Info@SummitPerformanceConsulting.com.
