We may not realise but even common activities help us reduce weight:

• One hour of window-shopping helps reduce 76 calories.
• Daily chores including; ironing clothes helps reduce 62 calories.

  Making the bed helps reduce 70 calories.

  Walking the dog helps reduce 226 calories.

Many household chores can also be counted as moderate exercises and for that matter, half-hour of gardening helps reduce 150 calories.

Scrubbing floors reduces 200 calories.

One should also opt for stairs rather than taking the lift, as it an excellent exercise for the cardio vascular system.
