Cleaning the house may feel like a chore, but you could be sweeping away those calories overtime you dust, wipe and clean.
A new study by StarBrands has revealed that those tiresome housework chores could help get rid of your muffin top.
In fact, scrubbing the bathroom can burn off around 256 calories an hour – the equivalent of a blueberry muffin.
Even making the bed can shift 70 calories, which ordinarily you’d have to burn through doing 20 minutes of Pilates.
Washing and folding laundry is another easy way to aid weight loss, with 148 calories curbed – which works out the same as a medium glass of wine.
Gardening and washing the car, however, are the most intensive workouts, burning off around 300 calories an hour.
Vacuuming may feel like hard work, but you could lose 175 calories by running your hoover over your carpets.
Rearranging your room and doing DIY for 60 minutes can burn off 400 and 350 calories respectively too.
As Brits spend over 11 hours each week doing housework, you could be secretly losing 2,345 worth of calories, equating to a weight loss of 2Ibs each month alone.
With guidelines recommending Brits do at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week, you could be doing a whole lot more just by keeping the housework up to date.
Rather than spend your day working off your sins boxing, jogging, cycling or spinning, you could be killing tow birds with one stone instead.
StarBrands have devised a HouseWorkOut to help you lose 500 calories – while keeping your house looking spick and span too.
