Butterflies and birds are flying under sunny skies. It&#8217;s \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t springtime! What better way to chase away the winter blues than to get your \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t blood pumping by doing a bit of spring cleaning. A recent British study showed \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t that the Brits burn over 50,000 calories a year (which adds up to almost 15 \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t pounds of fat) just by cleaning their homes.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a list of the top 10 highest \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t calorie burning chores (listed from the lowest to the highest, with the average \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t number of calories burned per year). The good news is that the more you clean, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t the more calories you&#8217;ll burn through. And the more body weight you&#8217;re \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t carrying, the more calories you&#8217;ll burn. Not only will you get your workout, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t you&#8217;ll have a clean house to enjoy afterward. So, get out that vacuum and get \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t cleaning! \u00a0 <a title=\"10 Best Spring Cleaning Workouts\" href=\"http:\/\/www.howtobefit.com\/spring-cleaning-workouts.htm\">Continued&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tulips and daffodils are blooming.
