We are moving next week....super exciting. Only problem is that on top of work, we are sanding, taping, painting, packing, moving, cleaning and on and on. Needless to say, my workouts have been replaced by sleep. All hope is not lost! All of the activities listed above burn mega calories! And no we are not using electric sanders, or hiring people to clean. We are sweating and screaming our way through it ourselves.
How many calories does all of this burn (per hour)? See below:
(Excerpt from DIY Life)
SANDING FLOORS: 306
HANGING DRYWALL: 204
INTERIOR PAINTING: 204
GENERAL CARPENTRY: 204
HANGING WALLPAPER: 204
EXTERIOR PAINTING: 340
FINISHING OR REFINISHING FURNITURE: 306
THINKING ABOUT YOUR TO-DO LIST: 68
So just when you think you are in deep trouble for missing your workouts - Think about the 8 hours you spent fixing up your house - it counts! That being said I can't guarantee you won't need a good run after dealing with your husband doing renos for 8 hours!
Have a great weekend and enjoy St. Paddy's Day!
