I wake up on my only day off during the week and determine my highest priority - A) 30 minutes of cardio at the gym followed by a nice warm shower, a cup of tea and a nap; B) cleaning the house followed by 5 minutes of solid relaxation before the kids get home from school. Although, I would rather burn off the extra fish stick I had for supper last night, I decide it is best to sweep last week's Rice Crispies off the kitchen floor.
After the kitchen, I pull on the rubber gloves and go head-on against soap scum. As I'm leaning over the bathtub, I realize I'm getting a great triceps workout with this scrubbing action. I switch arms to give my left an equal workout. I stand on the edge of the tub and do squats as I scrub down the walls.
I'm on a roll now so I do the stairs a few times while collecting the mop, water and Pine-Sol. The mopping action works the traps perfectly. If I get ambitious enough, I will work the delts while scouring the baseboards.
This whole process reminds me of "Wax on. Wax off." and we all know how that turned out. Watch it girls, the cleaner my house is, the better I will look in a bikini this summer!
