Folding Clothes

Members Were Sparked

I will fold 1-2 pieces of clothing at the dryer and walk them down the hallway to the bedrooms to put them away. Then I walk back down the hall to the laundry room and fold a few more and keep doing this until the whole load is done.Good exercise and I'm getting my house work done at the same time.

MORE INFORMATION:
By the way, my 4 dogs get exercise too, because they follow me everywhere. Back and forth, back and forth.

What an awesome idea. Thanks for sharing!

With my multi-tasking mind that just seems like a lot of wasted time. With a family of five and the laundry that comes with them that is just to much to do to be walking for 1-2 pieces of clothing.

I do this. I also hang each item of clothing one at a time, I keep the clothes hangers in the hall and take one into the laundry room at a time, it may not seem like much, but at least I'm moving around.

Aerobic clothes folding

Fold one, 10 jumping jacks, fold one, 10 arm curls, fold one, you get the picture. Sometimes it gets me motivated to do something more sustaine - but at least it breaks the monotony of both folding clothes and working out.

Walking and Laundry

When I am folding clothes I walk in place, I take each thing as folded and put it away, not a stack individually. It gets the job done and really doesnt take much longer but I get lots of steps and walking in doing it.
