My inner ego, Enid, has enjoyed all the craft and puzzle, postive feeling past-times. But today it is important to get moving again even if still confined to four walls.
Great to throw myself into stretching and moving even whist doing housework. Can this count as a work out if I put enough effort in?
It worked for the great R.i.P Mr mercury Nilsam it can work for you to, there's so many tasks that involve a little fitness if only for a tweak here and there 👍👍
Brilliant. Oh we loved Freddie! What a man and what an outfit. Now I may have to sing along with the housework. It wont be "when I'm cleaning windows".
Thank you for that comment, Imc50. Take care. 😎
Housework is a great workout
It can be... or just a flick of a duster from the couch? 😎
No lol no duster flicking
Oh ok promise...big stretches and furniture moving. 👍👀
Polishing is great for arms, i used to polish a lot until i realised i polish when stressed, i have a lovely oak table that was my mums and after she died i brought it home , poor thing got polished every day for weeks it was so nice and shiny
Oh I used to love polishing our old oak table (I even used to sit my small daughter on a duster and move her around ...is that child cruelty?) Wiping over s modern table is just not the same. 😎🙃
Ooo I never thought to do that with my daughter and i’m sure it’s not child cruelty
That was when all I had to worry about was doing house work while looking after one small child. 😎
I remember those days, and feel incredibly lucky that i had those years home with my children
Have a good day
I’m not sure i can go out for another run or walk today but have felt the housework bug get me so doing that first
Take care...happy memories 😎👍
Did the ironing woo hoo, been saving it up as wear jumpers to work in winter so 14 shirts have been hanging and waiting, loud music and 2000 steps later lol
Have a good day
Very impressed. We should see how many steps we can do just doing house work. A bit tricky tracking but it could be fun. 
I do a low squat or single leg dip while cleaning my teeth........so yes, of course you can build in strengthening and flexibility exercises into just about any daily chore.
Oh my what an image! I would probably crack my chin off the sink if I tried that. 🤣🤣🤣
See if you can and then you will know you are getting flexible.
👀You have added a new exercise routine for twice a day.🛁
Careful with that toothbrush! Makes me think of children running around with lollipops in their mouths (ouch). That said, I stand on one leg whenever I can. Am turning into a heron!
It is a great image and I do agree. I used to practice my balance on one leg with my eyes shut whilst cleaning my teeth (left leg for top right leg for bottom)...but tended to list towards the bath. Bit dodgy. 👍
Well done for being creative and inventive with your exercise! 🎖
Thank you, Delly-dot. Needs must...as more people at home for longer...definitely equals more mess. 👍
Defo! For sure. Get a boogie going with that housework. About to do the same.
Dog 🐕 in hiding, hates me boogying with the squeegee 💃
Ha ha...I remember that. One day scarpers the other one hides under the sofa. 😹👀
My dog hates the vacuum cleaner but strangely doesn't mind the noise of the new treadmill!
Yay Enid is off the couch too!!! There's no hiding from it even with the lockdown theres always a way to keep moving. Gasp - am i going to have to clean my house?????
Hi Nilsam, great to see Enid up and moving about, and getting the housework done at the same time 😉🤗
Pity l can't employ my evil twin and sit on the sofa. 🤣
It’s nice to see Enid helping out. We all need to stick together in this crisis (but only virtually). Housework is a great workout, except ironing, I don’t recommend ironing! 😁. Dancing is good too 💃🏻🕺
Hate ironing!
If your standing not sitting to iron...it has to count for something. But no, let's dance in wrinkled clothes instead. 💃💃💃I mean who is going to see us.👀👍
I am wearing 'sports chic' to work from home. 😂
Love it...why not. 😎👀👍
😂 It is not a very pretty sight! Who cares. My husband may also be growing a beard - we are going to look like cave dwellers soon!
I had a little dance in the kitchen in my break from the remote working. My brother in Australia is just going into lockdown mode. He's a musician (amateur) and sound engineer and did a rendition of Ghost Town which was brilliant. A nice break from the awful shoulder and backache from working at a less than perfect working set up at home. It hurts!
Oh yes! Enid seems to be running with the vacuum cleaner- go Enid!
It was short lived but we did the house and the windows. But the sun started shining so I had to go in the garden again. 😎
I’d say it definitely counts
Definitely!! I think anything that gets us moving, warmer and heart rate up a bit definitely counts!
