STEPS ADD UP WITH HOUSEWORK:
Housework isn’t the only exercise for a housewife, but it is a good way to keep a body moving and to get steps in each day. Making the bed, vacuuming, and putting laundry away are just a few examples of housework tasks that create plenty of steps. Of course, the bigger the house the more steps it takes to complete a task; even if smaller homes don’t take as many steps, the steps that a housewife gets in each day make a difference for the better along with the care and love she puts into her daily housework tasks.
