• The housework-out: Keep fit while keeping the house clean

Ironing

Half an hour's worth of ironing burns about 70 calories while simultaneously toning the muscles of the upper body. Be sure to maintain good posture while standing at the ironing board and press down firmly. Switch hands periodically so you don't overdevelop one arm, unless you feel this may be detrimental to the quality of your ironing or the safety of your garment.
