I have been known to use the app myfitnesspal.com to track my daily nutrition and exercise. My friend Phil always says housework isn't exercise... but I beg to disagree. Anything that gets you off the sofa and moving, increasing your calorie burn and heart rate can have a beneficial effect on your health. Not only that but you'll have a clean and tidy home afterwards increasing your motivation and sense of well being. So... running around after the kids, dog and loading the washing machine can all add up. The more energetic activities obviously burn extra calories such as spring cleaning, washing the car or hoovering but the more effort you put in, the more benefits you'll see. With the warmer weather around the corner there really are no excuses. Why don't you just switch off your television set and go and do something less boring instead?
