SculpSure body contouring is a fat reduction treatment that eliminates stubborn fats on the belly, flanks, arms, and thighs. To maintain results, patients are advised to keep a healthy and active lifestyle. If you can’t go out at the moment, there are other ways to stay fit without going to the gym or jogging at the park.
By doing household chores, you’re already burning calories. You’d be surprised how many calories you burn per week just by cleaning the house or doing laundry. These are a few of the household chores commonly done every week and the number of calories they burn. This information could help keep you motivated to stay on track and keep fit to maintain your SculpSure body contouring results:
1. Mopping the floors
How many times do you mop your floors per week? It is estimated that the average household mops their floors about 138 minutes each week, which roughly translates to burning about 405 calories per week; the same number of calories burned if you did about 300 squat thrusts. Not too keen on mopping several times a week? “Moderate” mopping can burn up to 230 calories and even if you only mop once a week, if you do it for an hour, you’d be burning about 156 calories.
2. Doing the laundry
Doing laundry is probably the least of your favorite chores but did you know that washing and folding clothes for one hour can burn up to 148 calories? If you manually wash and hang-dry the laundry you could burn even more calories, up to 400 calories per load!
3. Cleaning and rearranging furniture
If you dread moving furniture to sweep and mop under it, knowing you can burn up to 400 calories per hour cleaning and rearranging furniture could just be the motivation you need to do it. Don’t have enough time to clean everything at once? Doing this chore for a mere 15 minutes can already burn 100 calories.
4. Gardening
Gardening may not be a regular household chore but it’s still worth mentioning here especially if you have a green thumb. Did you know you can burn up to 250 calories for every hour spent gardening? Now that’s definitely an enjoyable way to keep the weight off and maintain your SculpSure body contouring results!
5. Cooking
If you love cooking for your family, you’ll love it even more now because you can burn up to 150 calories for every hour spent preparing ingredients and cooking. Now you won’t feel guilt enjoying the meal you’ve prepared for the family!
