A new poll of 2,000 Americans found a third of us think everyday chores like doing the dishes count as “EXERCISE” now.
98% of people say you don’t need to go to the gym to get a good workout, and 54% us NEVER see the inside of a gym. But the average person still claims to “exercise” four times a week.
People were asked to name the top everyday tasks that count as exercise. Here are the Top 10. They start getting pretty iffy in the second half.
- Walking around your neighborhood. 74% say all the walking you do in a day counts as exercise.
- Taking the stairs instead of an elevator, 60%.
- Doing yard work, 59%.
- Cleaning, 59%.
- Taking your dog for a walk, 56%.
- Bringing groceries in from the car, 42%.
- Gardening, 40%.
- Taking out the trash, 36%.
- Stretching after getting out of bed, 35%.
- Doing dishes or a load of laundry. 33% think it counts as exercise.
