How dirty is your house?  Vacuuming takes me less than 5 minutes. [/quote]
Wow how tiny is your home? Vacuuming just my main floor takes ~10-15m, plus if you move furniture it takes longer. Then add stairs, upstairs, bedrooms, etc. Maybe you don't do it very thoroughly? [/quote]

DP but that's what I would venture to say too. Vacuuming in less than 5 min means nothing was picked up basically.

This is why people need to hire professionals. Most of you don't know how to clean your homes.

To answer OP, I have a townhouse and cleaning all three floors it's definitely a workout. My HR is up, I'm sweating, I'm running up and down the stairs. I'm exhausted at the end. Not sure why people think only sweating at the gym qualifies.[/quote]

You also need to wear special clothes for exercise to count. [/quote]
