Is Housework Real Exercise?
I just read the last Ryan Lee email newsletter: he’s talking about some people, most who are out of shape or overweight people, believing that housework is a kind of exercise. And doing so on a regular basis, they think they could get some results, lose fat and get in better shape.
People believe all kind of things and I cannot agree more with Ryan when he urges that housework cannot replace a real physical activity.
Housework is an activity, a little harder than watching the TV, but let’s be serious, it’s not physically demanding enough for getting in shape! Activity doesn’t mean physical activity!
So these people never see any results, they stay where they are with all the health consequences over the years.
They need to act, and they get two choices:
- Stop to use the car, or at least reduce it; start to walk more, or get a bicycle. Stop to take the elevator. They have to move more their body on a daily basis as people did in their life 100 years ago!
- Or engage in some real exercise programs: start easy, just a few minutes, use body weight exercises. An exercise program is always progressive in terms of duration and intensity.
Bottom line: there is no quick fix, it’s just about life habits and life style, and the rewards can be great on the long run…better body, better health, better feelings…
