Houseproud adults are burning a whopping 2,690 calories a week, adding up to 139,898 calories a year – just by cleaning their homes.
A study of 2,000 adults who clean more than once a week found they will spend a total of 30 hours a year ironing – the equivalent of more than a whole day – burning 9,277 calories as a result.
And while gardening might be considered more of a therapeutic task than a full workout, adults are shedding 142 calories over the 38 minutes spent doing the chore each week.
