It’s no secret you can exercise without actually hitting the gym. As a matter of fact, you can burn a lot of calories without even leaving your house! These everyday activities will help you keep your body moving even when you’re not intentionally trying to exercise.
Cleaning
Most of us would rather avoid this boring chore, but it turns out you can actually burn 150 calories per hour while getting your house in order.
Shopping
Even when you know exactly what you want, going shopping usually means you’ll be walking A LOT. If you’re visiting a mall on a busy day, chances are you’ll have a hard time finding a parking spot and spend even more time on your feet.
Gardening
Working in your garden also means you’ll spend a lot of time pulling out weeds, planting and watering flowers and mowing your lawn. In addition to being a great exercise, gardening is pretty healthy because you get to spend a lot of time out in the fresh air.
Shoveling Snow
Shoveling snow burns 400-600 calories per hour, and it’s pretty difficult to name a workout that’s more physically demanding than this seemingly simple activity.
