If you have ever painted your house, you know it is a workout. You wake up with the same burning sensation in your muscles that you feel after a session in the gym. If you paint, you will burn calories.
Calories
A person weighing 155 pounds will burn approximately 320 calories in an hour of painting the walls of a house, according to NutriStategy.
Weight
People who carry more weight burn calories faster, regardless of the activity. An individual who weighs 205 pounds burns about 420 calories while painting for one hour. A person who weighs 130 burns 265 calories.
Considerations
Other factors also influence how many calories a person burns while painting, such as the basal metabolic rate, or BMR, which is the amount of calories the body burns while at rest. Your BMR is determined by factors such as genetics, weight and diet, according to ShapeFit.
