You Can Burn This Many Calories from Gardening and Home Projects

If you despise working out, trade in your dumbbells for some gardening gloves! Homeowners burn more than 80,000 calories a year by gardening and doing DIY projects. In case you were wondering, the amount burnt during a typical year is the equivalent of 349 mars bars or 312 big macs! One of the best ways to shed some pounds is using a push mower. But, smaller tasks such as painting or putting up shelves will also give you a workout.
