How to Make Every Day Chores into Movement Practice

Doing chores around the house doesn't have to be boring or something you dread.Not if you approach it with a little creativity.Yesterday I was mopping the floor because we had a big ant invasion. So, I thought I'd mop and do a little ninja training and record this video for you in the process.I lost count with the number of things I accomplished with this:

• cleaned the floor
• killed ants
• practiced squatting
• practiced lower body mobility
• did some ninja training
• titillated my wife (you'll know what I mean at the end)

Some other ideas for making every day activities a movement practice:

• Make cleaning mirrors and windows a martial arts practice - "wax on! wax off!"
• Do the dishes in horse stance or balance on one leg
• Fold the laundry while squatting or on all fours
• Find an obstacle course to follow on your way to taking the recycling out
• Do the same as mopping and turn sweeping and vacuuming into a squat and lower body mobility session
