Cleaning is an important activity that helps not only to maintain order and cleanliness in the house, but also to even lose extra calories.

British experts have come to this conclusion, writes DailyMail .

They calculated exactly how many calories a person spends while cleaning.

The experiment involved professional cleaners who carried watches that measured the level of energy expended.

In the end, it turned out that the most difficult task was maintaining order in the kitchen. After all, this is the place where food is prepared, which means that you have to clean it more.

It turned out that cleaning the kitchen burns even more calories than dancing, which is 219 calories.

As it turns out, you can burn 276 calories in the process of cleaning. At the same time, an hour-long bike ride will be equal to just over 290 calories.

As for cleaning other rooms, the subjects expended less energy. For example, cleaning the bathroom consumed an average of 173 calories, while cleaning the bedroom consumed only 154 calories.
