Between going to work and taking care of your home and family, it can be difficult to find time to get ripped, but what if you could build muscle while taking care of some common household chores? Recently, the Wall Street Journal reported on Stevie Markovich, who has kept himself fit using an exercise routine that he devised around housework such as vacuuming and washing windows.
In 2002, Markovich developed DVDs that taught individuals his unique workout, and since then others have followed suit and created their own housework exercise plans. Some of the examples he gave for how he stays in shape while doing chores is squats while washing windows and lunges and hip twists while using the vacuum.
ABC's Good Morning America also reported on the concept of getting fit while doing chores and made some suggestions.
"While you're putting the dishes away, rise up onto your toes and hold for a count of three. Come down slowly onto your heels. Repeat until all the dishes are back in the cupboard, or for two sets of 12," according to the news source.
