Honestly I’ve seen some attitudes and articles that “housework isn’t exercise” and… I’m guessing such people don’t do much housework? At a minimum, it could often be a lot of walking, which is fine low to moderate exercise.
Have you ever found housework (or chores) to be good exercise?
I can’t say I’ve ever thought about it one way or another, but I don’t really feel physically exhausted or sore after housework, so I guess I wouldn’t consider it exercise? For me at least, I don’t mean to say anyone is wrong for thinking otherwise.
I dunno, I sweep, mop, clean the bathroom, do the dishes, all the normal housework stuff - it’s definitely more strenuous than not doing anything, but in my mind there’s a place between sitting and exercise which is where housework kinda falls. Though the linked article also includes some yardwork like raking, weeding and mowing the lawn, which definitely feel more like exercise to me.
