It's New Year's Eve -- time for resolutions. If it's losing weight, here are some solutions. Today you'll learn to skip the workout and work in with what we call "house and home gym-provement." There are many ways to burn off calories besides exercise and working out in the gym. Sixty minutes of aerobics burns about 400 calories; the same time spent jogging burns 500. But, an hour spent painting burns 360 or more (and gives you a sparkling living space as a bonus). Cleaning, repairs, and improvement are exercise, too. Wonder how many calories you'll lose? House-cleaning burns about 200 calories an hour; carpentry about 450, and moving furniture, 475. Outdoors, an hour with a push mower burns 400 and shoveling snow burns more than 700 an hour. To lose weight you don't have to go to the gym; just exercise with housework and home gym-provements. And that's the On The House tip for today.
