Forget going to the gym or signing up for yoga, new research suggests you can stay in shape by simply doing the housework.

不用去健身房或者报瑜伽班啦，新的研究表明，你可以通过做家务保持体形。

A study by the Good Housekeeping Institute (GHI) found that dusting, mopping and cleaning the bathroom are all effective ways to burn calories without leaving the house.

好管家研究所（GHI）的一项研究发现，足不出户就能燃烧脂肪的最有效方法是除尘、拖地、清洁浴室。

Results showed that people burned an average of 600 calories doing just two hours of intense household chores - nearly double the 374 calories burned during a 5km run - with window cleaning topping the list as the most taxing task.

研究结果表明，集中做两小时家务平均消耗600卡路里热量，而跑5公里才消耗374卡路里，前者消耗的热量几乎是后者的一倍，而擦玻璃被列为最费力的家务活。

Researchers from the GHI fitted participants with FitBit Flex 2 fitness trackers, which measured the amount of energy expended as they carried out common chores.

好管家的研究人员在测试者身上安装了FitBit Flex 2健身追踪器，测量他们在进行普通家务劳动时消耗的能量。

They then calculated the average number of calories burned during a 20 or 40-minute session to determine the most demanding work out.
