Cleaning the house, cooking, washing dishes... during Tet is a way to burn fat and calories as effectively as going to the gym.
Cleaning the house and cooking during Tet makes many women feel tired and have no time for themselves. However, looking at it positively, this is also an effective way to burn fat and calories.
House cleaning
Sweeping the floor with a broom or vacuuming for an hour can burn about 150 to 200 calories. To increase the weight loss effect, you can add twisting, rotating your waist, jumping, or standing up and down while sweeping. The constant movement makes this work no different from aerobic exercise.
The larger the house or the higher the floor, the more calories you will burn due to the constant climbing and descending of stairs. Cleaning the main door and windows is also a useful exercise to help tone your shoulders and arms.
Cooking, washing dishes
Food preparation, cooking, and dishwashing seem like easy tasks, but they also burn a lot of calories. 60 minutes of cooking can burn as many calories as 30 minutes of gym time.
Moving, carrying, chopping, slicing food... during cooking can burn 150 - 200 calories per hour, while also helping to firm up the muscles in the biceps and arms.
