Taking care of the house will help housewives improve their health as well as effectively reduce excess calories.

Doing housework will bring many health benefits, especially it can help housewives consume a significant amount of calories, maintaining the desired weight.

Accordingly, 3 housework can effectively burn excess calories.

House cleaning

Cleaning your house is one of the biggest calorie-burning chores. Sweeping and mopping the floor requires you to use a variety of muscle groups, from your arms to your legs and back. This gives you a full body workout.

According to some studies, spending just about 30 minutes a day sweeping or mopping the floor can help housewives burn about 150 to 200 calories, depending on the workload.

In particular, sweeping or mopping the floor also helps improve body flexibility as well as strengthen muscle strength.

Hand wash clothes

Washing clothes by hand is a very energy-consuming task. When washing clothes by hand, the arm muscles will work continuously, especially when using strength to wring the clothes dry.

Doing laundry by hand regularly will help housewives burn a significant amount of calories. Doing laundry for about 30 minutes can consume from 100 to 150 calories.

Home gardening

Gardening is one of the best calorie-burning activities. Activities like digging, weeding, watering plants, and pruning all require constant physical movement.

This work will also help housewives increase muscle flexibility, improve blood circulation and burn calories naturally.

Spending about 1 hour working in the garden can help burn from 250 to 300 calories. This is also one of the quite useful housework when wanting to lose weight effectively.
