Burn fat while you do your laundry. Here’s how!

dirtyWho actually LIKES to do laundry?

Let’s be honest – there’s nothing fun about washing clothes. I used to be the worst – I’d wait until I had 14 loads piled to the ceiling before I was ready to face that washing machine, which succeeded more in stressing me out (and reinforcing how much I hated doing laundry) than in actually getting the job done.
One day I decided to try something different starting with this very simple idea: I do a little bit every day (don’t forget – Less is More!!).
Things really clicked when I built a workout routine around it and did it every morning at the same time (Secret: I like to watch Regis and Kelly or throw on some 80’s Music to get going)!

Here is my cLEAN Laundry Routine:

  • After I take the clothes out of the dryer, I put them on a table (time to crank up the TV or some tunes!).
  • While sorting out the clothes, I’ll engage my tummy muscles and pull up, then I’ll balance on one leg as I do endless amounts of leg kicks to the back and side – try to do at least 15 -20 on each leg.
  • Throw in some squats as you fold the towels or clothes, and lunge your way into your kids rooms or hall closets to put your clothes away!
  • I also take advantage of my empty detergent bottles by filling them with 3 lbs. of water and using them as weights.

For the flabby back part of your arm

  • Keep your arm next to your side and kick it back 10 times on each side – do 3 sets of 10.

Remember your posture. Stand tall, pull up, and engage your tummy.

Good luck ! Let me know how it works for you and watch for the video soon!
