Does dancing wild and crazy around the house as you do your housework count as getting exercise? And be truthful, how many other mama's blast the music and groove when you are home alone??? In our house music is on most of the time, there will be times as we are eating dinner a good song will come on and me and the kids will jump up from the table and dance dance dance!!! Appropriate?? Who cares we are creating GOOD and FUN memories! Life is for living! HAVE A GREAT DAY MAMA"S Stay SASSY - I have lots of housework and groovn' to get to! :)
Seriously, this is a yes! :) I can tell you from being on Weight Watchers that they'd count the housework AND dance as exercise.
Have fun!
Of course!
Myself? I'm constitutionally incapable of cleaning without EITHER
a) Dancing or
b) Pizza & beer
Yes, it does. Just make sure you have your curtains drawn or your neighbors will think that you're a tad odd. When my fiance and I moved into our apartment I had the music going as I was putting away dishes and things. We didn't have our curtains up yet (In fact, we still don't). I'm sure our new neighbors got an amusing show.
And, sex also counts as exercise. Although when people ask you how you stay so slim, you might want to come up with a different excuse. Lol
I sure hope it counts because it's as close to a workout as this girl is going to get!
I love listening to music when I clean. It really gets me motivated and it makes cleaning not seem like work!
LOL The kids know that we crank up the music and clean the house. My daughter (5 years old) was swiffering under the couch the other day and saying "I'm shaking my booty" Have to make cleaning fun!
Absolutely! And so does dancing like lunatic with your child! I even had that confirmed by my "health coach" becuase it satisfied my exercise goal which as part of my the company's health plan.
Anything that lets a family have fun together is always good!
Maybe you should have a show: "So you think you can dance--and clean?" "Dance-n-Dust?"
But yes, my friend. Any movement is good movement. Even sleep burns calories so you would imagine what cleaning and dancing can rip!
I just vacuumed, mopped and got down on all fours to scrub difficult spots so I'm counting that toward my run!!
Both housework and dancing DO count as exercise in fact, dancing burns tons of calories! Have fun!
ABSOLUTELY! Groove on, mama!
yes, fun fun fun!! the pizza and beer comment was funny.
Yes...I dance all the time!
Anything that gets your heart rate up is considered as exercise. Have fun!
It all counts-good job!
Anything that burns calories is excercise! I think you can burn 8 calories from just chewing gum.
Sounds like Zumba to me. That counts as exercise, doesn't it?
And no... I don't crank the music and dance while I clean. I like my solitude and I don't get enough of it.. .so when the house is empty and I am cleaning--- I like it quiet. :)
