Clean Up

Members Were Sparked

I clean as I go when cooking then when I'm done, there isn't too much to clean! When done with a pot-served on a dish--either soak it or clean it--one less pot at the end!!

The item you feel you must soak...try using a clean dryer sheet, you will be surprised at the outcome. My girlfriend told me about this and I didn't believe it...tried and been doing it every since.

I too like to clean up in the kitchen as I go. When I am doing multiple batches of cookies, it is slick to have hot, soapy water to put the utensil and measuring items in as I finish with them, and then wash them up while the dough is mixing.

Keep Extra Workout Gear in Your Car

I keep a set of extra running clothes and shoes in my car along with a couple of bottles of water and baby wipes (for quick clean ups). Some times opportunities for a quick run or walk just happen and this way I am prepared- a quick change in a public restroom and I'm off & running!

Get in Your Exercise While You Shower

In the morning before I take my shower, I do calf raises on the shower stall door. I also do wall push-ups or close arm wall push-ups after I put conditioner in my hair while I wait the 2 minutes. At the end of my shower I have a squeegee that I use to clean the doors. 3 exercises in one shower!
