The Clean Mommy Workout
Warm up-Turn on some music and dance!
Laundry folding squats-Place basket on the ground in front of you. Get in a plie squat or standard squat position and lower yourself to lift a garment out of the basket (make sure you don't lean forward. Use the squat to get you down. Turn properly to place folder garment on table...no leaning or reaching)
Vacuum lunges-Alternating lunges or curtsy combos as you work a room.
Reach and dust-Balance on one leg with the other extended behind you to reach and dust. Engage core
Window cleaning reaches-Clean a window using circular motion, squats and reaches for high corners
Switching laundry rows-For front loaders unload the washer using a row, add a squat shuffle if washer and dryer are next to each other or a plie squat if stacked on top of each other to get the clothes into the dryer.
Cleaning stairs-Cardio drills and calf raises as you go up and down the stairs
Putting laundry away in dresser or closet-Single leg squats
Cardio Toy Pick Up-Use the chore of having to pick up toys as a chance for a cardio drill. Get low into a plie squat with knees over ankles and glutes back. Keeping your head above your heart, shuffle around the room picking up the toys and putting them in a basket.
Don't forget to stretch while you look at your clean house and your fit self!
