Scott Schwab:
Anyone, doing things around the house today should know that you are still doing some great work in the area of burning calories. Fortunately, every time we do any activity, we are burning calories. Note that 3500 calories burned is equivalent to losing one pound of fat. That means it takes an entire day of activity, a balance of proper eating, and exercise.
Obviously some activities are better than others, but here is a quick run down with the stats of usual chores.
Activity:/ Calories burned:
Housework 198
Carrying an Infant 252
Mowing - push 297
Washing car 306
Mopping 306
Garden 369
Construction/Remodeling 396
Chop Wood 414
Rearranging Furniture 450
*This is based on an average weight of 150 pounds. If you are lighter, you may burn less, where as if you are heavy you will burn more. All of these activities also depend upon the vigor of the activity.
