Successfully losing weight requires an overall physically active lifestyle. While specific cardiovascular workouts are efficient at burning calories, incorporating physically active daily activities also burns calories and facilitates weight loss.
Factors
The intensity of your housework will make a direct impact on the number of calories that you will burn. For example, mopping the floor is likely to be more intense than lightly dusting. In addition, your current body weight will make an impact. Heavier people will burn more calories doing the same housework.
Estimated Calories
According to HealthStatus.com online calculator, a 160-lb. person will burn about 211 calories during 60 minutes of housework, while a 200-lb. person will burn more than 260 calories. You can calculate the estimated number of calories you will burn using an online calorie calculator.
Weight Loss
For every pound of weight loss, you must burn 3,500 more calories than you consume. To significantly burn calories and lose weight more efficiently, you should incorporate regular cardiovascular activity. Housework will help to increase the total number of calories you burn.
