Household chore, mopping the floor…the calorie-burning way!
I will confess - I always like trying to add some sort of exertion in any household chore that needs to be done.
Like most of humanity, we have a linoleum floor in our kitchen. And apparently evolution has progressed to the point that dirt from as far away as Outer Mongolia manages to flock to said kitchen floor during the most inopportune times.
Well! I could use (get this) a mop to clean it up. But hey, where’s the ice-skating in that?
Instead, I’ll wet up two household rags with soap and water, put them on the floor, step on them and then skate across the kitchen with the greatest of ease (okay, I shuffle, but hey, it still works). The benefits to this are:
- It’s super-easy to hit all the trouble spots in one pass
- I get a good workout on my legs/thighs/calfs as well!
The kids love getting into the action as well. ‘course, should that happen, I do generally end up with the Pacific Ocean on my floor…but hey. At least it’s clean once it dries.
Whatever works.
Enjoy,
Barbara
