YOUR ‘CLEAN’ WORKOUT ROUTINE TURN HOUSEHOLD CHORES INTO EFFECTIVE EXERCISE Everyone knows how labor-intensive cleaning can be. A long day of scrubbing down your house is a great way to work your muscles and get your blood pumping, so crank up some tunes, grab a mop, and get ready to transform your cleaning routine into a great workout.

WHAT CHIROP

A LOOK AT BUYIN

Here at Chiro1Source, we have a unique bird’s-eye view of the

chiropractic field. As a supply company, we often pick up on trends when they’re just getting started and can watch as certain products or shopping habits ripple out across the country.

To get physical benefits from cleaning, you need to turn up the intensity of your methods. Exaggerate your motions, pick up your pace, and keep your abs tight and knees flexed. Nearly any chore can be turned into an exercise, but here are some ideas to get you started. • ● VACUUM: Vacuum briskly nonstop for at least 20 minutes, switching arms as you go. For an added challenge, do lunges as you vacuum and remember to keep your toes pointed straight ahead and your knees bent at 90-degree angles. • ● PICK UP: Instead of simply bending over to pick up toys or clothes, do a squat with every item you grab. Remember to use your legs, not your back. You can also do squats while unloading the dishwasher or with any other chore that involves repeated bending. • ● WIPE DOWN: Whether you’re wiping windows or scrubbing appliances, do big, exaggerated arm circles until your muscles start to burn and make sure you’re switching arms as you go.

This is fascinating even in ordinary times, but it’s been particularly interesting to see what’s trending during the COVID-19 pandemic. This month, we thought we’d share some of the insights we’ve picked up on from putting together orders and chatting with our clients. Hopefully, you can use these trends to your advantage to stock up on what you need and increase your direct sales to patients. ● At the start of the pandemic, personal protective equipment (PPE) was in high demand. Now, though, sales of PPE are starting to decrease as clinics finish stocking up on what they need.

• ● COOK: It’s not cleaning, but it’s still a chore with useful downtime. While food is simmering or thawing in the microwave, do some pushups, situps, or planks to get your muscles moving. You can implement dozens of exercises to turn mundane activities into beneficial workouts. Some chores will burn more calories than others, but every bit of activity helps. Now’s the time to work your way to a cleaner house and a healthier you.
