    I always try and improve my calorie burn by taking every single item and hanging it up right after it comes off the ironing board!

    Ditto. And now knowing the calorie burn I'm doing, puts a whole new light on ironing.

    Good to know! Maybe I should do it all at once rather than as I need it. Hmmm............

    Ha, that's awesome!! I'm supposed to iron once a week (per my own schedule) and have a tough time making myself do it, now it might be a bit easier! Thanks! =)

    Most of my clothes are knit or wrinkle-free. But I will keep that in mind for the future.:flowerforyou:
