When you make that old resolution to lose
weight beginning on Jan. 1, you are probably setting yourself up for failure.
You will go all out to begin with, but after a few weeks you will burn out and
you won’t feel like working out anymore. The rest of the year will go by and
again on Jan. 1, you will try the resolution again. It won’t always work out,
so what can you do to lose weight and not give up?
The solution comes in the form of doing
home maintenance, which is excellent exercise for the body. When you do home
maintenance, you are able to get fit through the simple action of improving
your home and your yard. You can burn as much as 576 calories an hour just
shoveling snow, or 400 calories an hour mowing the lawn. Raking leaves takes up
384 calories as well.
Did you know though, that with the help of
a fence, you can burn thousands of calories? Here is how.
First, building a fence will burn 340
calories per hour. It will probably take at least 10 hours to build a fence,
and that means burning 3,400 calories total over the course of a week. That is
a huge amount to burn, especially if you supplement it with eating healthy. In
addition, you can wash a fence and burn 238 calories per hour. If you are
painting a fence, another task that can take 10 hours, you can burn 2,380
calories over that course of time.
Something as simple as a fence can help you
burn a lot of calories, help you get in shape and help you feel healthy and
better about yourself. Oh, and you improve the market value of your home. No
gym can do that.
