Fit Tip: Wash Your Own Car


Updated 10/28/07 4:06 PM · Posted by FitSugar · 16 comments

If you're anything like me, the only time your car gets washed is if you're at a gas station and notice there is a car wash available. However, you (and I) might want to think about getting out the old hose and buckets to wash the car by hand. Yup, I'm talkin' 'bout the car wash.

Not only is it a fun thing to do with the family, washing your car by hand burns about 17% more calories than using a drive through car wash. A 150 pound person can burn nearly 300 calories simply by washing his or her car by hand—plus you'll save a few bucks too! So take advantage of the last few nice days left of this year and work and work.
