Tip of the Day



More home “gym”-provement

Who says you have to work "out" to get exercise? There are ways at home to trim tummies, butts and thighs. A traditional workout routine has many benefits, but even mundane household chores are good exercise. While you get a cleaner and better-looking home, you can lower cholesterol and blood pressure and get your body into shape for the beach. Besides painting, mowing and shoveling snow, try vacuuming. It burns 230 calories an hour, while firming up muscles in your back and biceps. Washing windows burns 280 calories an hour and benefits your chest, shoulders, back and legs. And, simple dusting or planting flowers burns calories -- 180 an hour, while benefiting wrists and forearms and providing a good shoulder, lats and tricep workout. For more tips, visit our Web site at onthehouse.com. And that's the On The House tip for today.
