As many can figure cleaning your house or car is a great way to burn some extra calories.  Especially if you’re having fun and dancing along with your cleaning routine!

When you’re cleaning you can burn from 150 calories to 400 in an hour.  Add dancing to that and you’re looking at another 150 to 525 calories per hour!

To get your groove going while cleaning, I would suggest a killer “cleaning dance mix” for your IPod or Pandora.com

On Pandora you can set your own “radio stations”, or mix several stations together to create one big mix.  While you’re listening you can click “I like it” or “I don’t like it” so the stations can be more tailored to exactly what you want to listen to.

My cleaning mix is a combination of “Rob Zombie”, “CombiChrist”, “Lady Gaga”, “Just Dance”, “VNV Nation”, and “Stiff Kittens” stations.

I have a lot of stations saved, but these are specifically my cleaning mix.

I would highly suggest trying Pandora out.

On the same topic, if you’re wanting great ideas and suggestions on how to get the most out of your cleaning routine, check out cLEAN Momma.

She just recently put out a DVD that you can get, however she has some really great tips.  I would highly suggest checking her out.

Anyways, I’m needing to finish my cleaning, and then get to cooking for dinner with a friend.

See you all later,

Love,

Poor Girl
