    let's say – you don't have a washer that works the dryer yes. so you have to load the basket put it in the car wash the laundry taking 30 minutes by machine come home with fresh washed clothes 10 times heavier in the basket. then dry these clothes with your dryer taking an hour or two plus folding putting them away . How many calories would you say this would be?


    I was told there'd be no math

    I actually lift my 40 pounds of laundry up and down stairs and WALK it through the neighborhood to the laundry mat. Still not counting any calories burned. That's my life.

    That really sucks.
    I'ts great for some extra NEAT and jazz but it just sounds time-consuming and a PITA

    That is why I rarely do it. Most of the time I bring it in the shower with me and get all washing done at once.

    Well that's one way haha
    There's actually a backpack laundry bag. One of my residents had it in college, made it easier to bring it down to the basement to do laundry

    I wait so long to do it, it would never fit. I did just get a cart though. Darn...less calories burned.

    That's pretty brutal, honestly, I'm so thankful I have laundry in my building (on my floor, like 30 seconds from my door).

    What about going more often with less stuff (like this hasn't occurred to you, but I have to ask)?

    I work at a music school and my good friend is the office manager/receptionist. She is also a pianist and had to come in to accompany one of my classes. She wanted to log the piano playing. It's not like she was doing Jerry Lee Lewis stunts. If anything, the work was slightly more vigorous than clicking around on the computer. I told her to knock it off and go do some jumping jacks.

    Basically I believe that a household chore can be counted as exercise, if it doesn't occur more than once every 2 weeks or once a week, if it's unusually strenuous & takes at least twice the amount of time, than usual. Like how I mentioned earlier, if 1 has a toddler that expects you to carry them around in the clean clothes basket for fun; while also having to go up/down stairs. I logged snow shoveling because so far this Winter, I've only done it twice; not more than once or twice a week.
