Exercise Description

As Daniel Son found out from his esteemed teacher Mr. Miyagi, household chores are often the best way to stay in shape. While most of us regret household chores even more than exercise, during the holidays cleaning is a great way to get ready for company and to remain active.

Step Number 1

While there are hundreds of different ways to clean that provide some physical activity, for this exercise we will focus on "wax on, wax off". This may apply to waxing or cleaning anything by hand.

Step Number 2

Instead of using a broom, or a vacuum, or any mechanical device get on your hands and knees and scrub those floors. Mr. Miyagi recommended a circular motion that provides a more effective technique, so we'll pass that along to you.

Step Number 3

If you are on the floor, make sure to put some sort of towel or pad under your knees so as to not put too much stress on your knees.

Step Number 4

Remember to take frequent breaks and mix-up the movement. If you simply scrub the floor or counter in a circular motion for an hour, you'll find yourself pretty sore the next day. If you can incorporate three or four cleaning activities into one full workout, you'll be much less sore.
