There are always people arguing about whether house cleaning burns calories. Well, today my sister and I tackled my mom's house. She is semi-invalid, smokes and the house hasn't been cleaned for about a year. We worked for 6 hours, washing walls, dusting furniture, cleaning blinds, washing windows, cleaning curtains, vacuuming, mopping, etc. I feel like it was exercise, for now I am POOPED!

    I always figure if my muscles are sore the next day, and not because anythings out of joint or pulled, than I probably burned a few calories.

    I absolutely would too! Don't worry about what other people do or think about it.
