Post Partum Calorie Burners..without exercise!


haha! I love this info I found on post partum weightloss. I feel like it is meant for me because I am one who does not like to exercise that much, so, it is nice to learn that I am burning calories doing every day things!


These calculations from CaloriesCount.com are based on a 170-pound new mom:

chasing baby during diaper change ( 3 cal/min)

folding burp cloths, baby towels ( 2.7 cal/min)

grocery shopping ( 4.5 cal/min)

housecleaning ( 8 cal/min)

kissing the baby's chubby cheeks ( 1 cal/min)

mopping up food flung on floor ( 5.8 cal/min)

preparing family dinner ( 2.8 cal/min)

sweeping up cookie crumbs ( 3 cal/min)

washing dishes ( 2.9 cal/min)

watching kid video for zillionth time ( 1.4 cal/min)
