I totally know what you mean! I throw things back into the dryer all the time trying to get them as wrinkle free as possible so that I don't have to iron. My kids don't even know what an iron is.0

I have never worked up much of a sweat ironing. Maybe I am doing it wrong.......0

I am obviously eccentric as I love ironing whilst watching something on the TV. On one website it quotes 113 calories per hour based on a 37yr old female, 5ft 5, weighing 12 stone. Those who weigh more than this will burn more calories; those who weigh less will burn fewer calories.0

It all depends. Are you super setting ironing whilst folding?0
