閱讀:瘦身不用去健身房,做些家務瘦下來
Forget going to the gym or signing up for yoga, new research suggests you can stay in shape by simply doing the housework.
不用去健身房或者報名參加瑜伽,新的研究表明你可以通過做家務來保持體形。
A study by the Good Housekeeping Institute (GHI) found that dusting, mopping and cleaning the bathroom are all effective ways to burn calories without leaving the house.
好管家研究所(GHI)的一項研究發(fā)現,不用出去就可以減去脂肪的最有效方法是除塵、拖地、清潔浴室。
Results showed that people burned an average of 600 calories doing just two hours of intense household chores - nearly double the 374 calories burned during a 5km run - with window cleaning topping the list as the most taxing task.
結果表明,家務勞動的平均消耗量為600大卡,熱量為2小時,跑5公里到374大卡,前者的能量幾乎翻了一番,擦拭玻璃被列為最繁重的家務活。
Researchers from the GHI fitted participants with FitBit Flex 2 fitness trackers, which measured the amount of energy expended as they carried out common chores.
好管家的研究人員在測試者身上安裝了FitBit Flex 2健身追蹤器,測量他們在進行普通家務勞動時消耗的能量。
They then calculated the average number of calories burned during a 20 or 40-minute session to determine the most demanding work out.
然后研究人員計算了20到40分鐘家務勞動所消耗的熱量的平均值,以確定哪項工作最費力。
Window cleaning topped the list, with participants burning an average of 115 calories in just 20 minutes.
擦窗戶位居第一,測試者擦20分鐘窗戶平均燃燒115卡路里。
Mopping the floor came in second place with 107 calories burned while cleaning the bathroom burned 100 calories - the equivalent to two KitKat fingers.
在第二位的是拖地,20分鐘的熱量平均107,清洗浴室20分鐘消耗100卡路里的熱量,相當于兩個巧克力。
Meanwhile a 40-minute dusting session burned nearly 200 calories.
此外,除塵40分鐘消耗近200卡路里。
While vacuuming came at the bottom of the list, participants still burned an average of 86 calories in just 20 minutes.
用吸塵器打掃是最不費力的,但測試者在20分鐘內仍然平均燃燒掉86卡路里。
The results show that there can be hidden benefits to giving the house an 'autumn clean' as the cooler weather starts to set in, according to the GHI.
好管家稱,結果表明,當天氣變涼的時候,家里的“秋季清掃”也是有更多的好處。
GHI cleaning expert Verity Mann said: 'Unfortunately, there are some labor-intensive chores that need to be done but the good news is that you will be getting fit while you're doing them.'
“雖然有些家務活需要付出很大的努力,但好消息是你在鍛煉身體。”,好管家清潔專家維里蒂•曼恩說道。
對于不想花費更多金錢報健身班,而且家中的衛(wèi)生沒有定期清潔的大家來說,能多攬下自家的一些衛(wèi)生工作,既可以鍛煉身體,給自己更好的居住環(huán)境是多美好的。
