Things like vacuuming cars and cleaning ceiling fans use different muscles than you're used to so that feels pretty good.

It is not a substitute for working out with weights and doing progressive overload, etc. It falls under NEAT- non exercise activity thermogenesis which is how we actually expend most of our calories. Essentially, yes, moving around cleaning is better than sitting sedentary, but it is NOT, for anyone, a substitute for dedicated weight lifting and you wouldn’t get the same benefits.

Yes, that’s why cleaning hotel rooms is an Olympic sport.

Do you take care of enough daily chores around the house for it to be considered a substitute of or significant part of a workout?
