We all know the struggle—you want to stay active, but the endless list of household chores keeps getting in the way. What if you could turn those daily tasks into opportunities to work out, save time, and boost your fitness levels? The good news is, you can! With a little creativity and support from Speediance NZ’s smart fitness solutions, you can transform household chores into mini workouts that actually count.
From lifting laundry baskets to vacuuming with purpose, here’s how to combine fitness and lifestyle hacks for a healthier, stronger you—all while checking off your to-do list.
Why Turn Chores Into Workouts?
Finding time for exercise can feel impossible, especially with work, family, and household responsibilities competing for your attention. But did you know you can sneak in fitness during everyday tasks? By adding intention and a little resistance, you can:
- Burn more calories
- Build strength and stamina
- Make chores less boring (yes, really!)
- Form healthier habits without needing extra time.
Pairing these mini chore-workouts with sessions on the Speediance Gym Monster 2 creates a well-rounded fitness routine that fits perfectly into your busy life.
Chores That Double as Effective Workouts
Ready to turn your chores into a calorie-burning, strength-building session? Here are a few creative ways to move more and train smarter:
1. Laundry Squats
Lifting heavy baskets of laundry? Add a squat every time you pick one up!
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, hold the basket close to your chest, and squat down with control.
- Focus on proper form: back straight, knees aligned with toes, and core engaged.
- Do 10 reps for each basket.
Upgrade Your Results: After warming up with laundry squats, level up your strength training using the Gym Monster 2. Its adjustable pulleys and real-time feedback ensure you’re lifting safely and effectively—perfect for targeting glutes and legs.
2. Vacuuming Lunges
Vacuuming doesn’t have to be dull—add lunges to give your lower body a real workout.
- With each step, drop into a lunge: back knee close to the ground, front knee aligned over the ankle.
- Alternate legs as you vacuum each room.
- Aim for 15-20 lunges per room.
Upgrade Your Results: Enhance balance and stability by integrating lunges into your next Speediance session with the Gym Pal, a compact smart gym offering up to 200 lbs of resistance. Combine it with strength assessments to tailor weights to your ability.
3. Stair Climbing with Purpose
Carrying groceries upstairs or running up and down to clean? Turn it into a stair-climbing workout:
- Carry bags or boxes with good posture—core tight and shoulders back.
- Pick up the pace to add a cardio boost.
- Repeat 5-10 times for an elevated heart rate.
Upgrade Your Results: Pair stair-climbing sessions with rowing workouts using the Rowing Bench 2.0. Rowing engages over 85% of muscles, offering low-impact cardio to balance out strength-focused movements.
4. Counter Push-Ups While Cooking
Waiting for water to boil? Drop into a set of counter push-ups.
- Place hands on the edge of the counter, walk your feet back, and lower your chest toward the surface.
- Keep your body in a straight line and push back up.
- Do 3 sets of 10 reps while cooking dinner.
Upgrade Your Results: Transition to full-body resistance workouts using the Smart Bluetooth Ring Controller for precise weight control. It’s perfect for fine-tuning your strength sessions with minimal effort.
Why Add Smart Fitness to Household Workouts?
While turning chores into workouts is a great start, structured strength training ensures you’re building muscle, improving endurance, and avoiding injury. Here’s how Speediance NZ makes your fitness journey smarter:
1. Personalised Training
Speediance equipment, like the Gym Monster 2, includes smart resistance modes and strength assessments that tailor your workouts to your fitness level.
2. Real-Time Feedback
Smart sensors monitor your movements, correcting form and helping you get the most out of every rep. This prevents bad habits that often creep in during DIY workouts.
3. Convenience at Home
Compact, foldable designs like the Gym Pal make it easy to transition between chores and focused workouts. No commute, no crowded gyms—just effective fitness on your schedule.
4. Low-Impact Options for Recovery
After a chore-heavy day, recovery is key. The Rowing Bench 2.0 offers gentle, full-body movements that reduce joint strain while keeping you active.
Tips to Make the Most of Your Chore-Workouts
Ready to turn your house into a mini fitness studio? Here are a few tips to maximise results:
- Set a Timer: Turn chores into circuits by working for 10-15 minutes at a time, then resting briefly.
- Track Your Movement: Wear a fitness tracker to see how many steps or calories you’ve burned.
- Add Weight: Use household items like water jugs for added resistance.
- Mix in Smart Fitness: After chore circuits, finish with a quick strength session on your Speediance equipment.
