I thought this was fun! I cant see myself vacuuming in 5-inch heels and a dance dress....but I get the point. ;)

Vacuuming Away Extra Pounds

I've been trying to figure out how to fit a workout into my daily routine for ages. I'd really like to find a way to squeeze in some exercise somewhere between work and cleaning the house and cooking dinner and spending some time with my family. Although I haven't quite figured out how to make this happen, I did get some advice from two-time Dancing with the Stars winner Cheryl Burke. Cheryl suggests dancing your way through your cleaning routine and using your cleaning tools to up your level of exertion. She's planned out a whole dance routine with a vacuum cleaner in this video. Check it out. Do you think you could keep up?

I can't even walk in heels let alone dance in them but I do put on my tennis shoes and turn on my favorite music to help me clean. I add lunges, squats and cardio where I can and just use cleaning as my workout most days. My house never stays clean so there is always exercise to be done. lol. I also use chasing my son as exercise. We currently have an empty room in our house so we can run in circles for a good 30 min before we both get so tired we have to stop. lol.
