Those of you who have enjoyed Archie comics will know how Veronica goes to gyms but Betty gets the same exercise by doing house work.
There are a whole lot of chores that work on our muscles and provide the same kind of exercise one would get going to a gym. No need to spell out the benefits.
Here in India we have maids to take care of our daily chores but these days they are hard to find or they keep taking leave. Talking of house work that provides muscle exercise one such chore is baling out chapatis . I tried doing them the other day – my first attempt and realised how my fingers get the exercise while I am kneading the flour and my arms get moving while baling them out. I have decided to take over this chore and make chapatis myself. I have yet to get the success of full puffed chapatis as you see in the image, but as they say practice will make that happen.

Do you do chores that can replace exercising to some extent?

Yes

No

Yes and no, some things at the gym are very beneficial that is not house work exercise..
I agree with you but those who have no time to visit gyms housework could compensate somewhat.
We have no maids in our land. So I have to do all the tasks inside and outside the house by myself. I think I do quite a few exercises ?
That is what is the case when most do their own household chores.
I am a reader of Archie comics until now. In fact I buy the back issues by the volume.
These days I have not got them as I understand that series is closed and Archie died too. Right?
I do everything from housework to gardening, plenty of exercise and more LOL
And that keeps you in trim I bet (lol)
I do gymnastics for about half an hour every morning.
The daily chores do have situations that can replace exercise.
I have a gym in the garden, my dear friend
Gardening is a good form of exercise.
Yeah, you’re pretty good at being in the garden for a while
wow , why there is water coming in my mouth ?
You are supposed write about work that you do. that can replace exercise (lol)
Really puffy and must be very yummy one.
This post is about household chores that can replace formal exercises. Have you any?
I am the maid of three, off course.:P
I love the picture and that bread
Do you think housework can replace the gym?
