Housework Workout?

So yesterday, I was totally depressed because I'm unemployed and don't need a treadmill desk. Today, I'm feeling blue because now some bitches are calling housework a workout, and there's no way in hell I'm going to do THAT. Seriously. The gym never looked so good. The sad thing is, it gets worse. Some study evidently links housework with increased sex. Read on if you dare:

CAN housework help you live longer? A New York Times blog post by Gretchen Reynolds last month cited research linking vigorous activity, including housework, and longevity. The study, which tracked the death rates of British civil servants, was the latest in a flurry of scientific reports crediting domestic chores with health benefits like a lowered risk for breast and colon cancers. In one piquant study published in 2009, researchers found that couples who spent more hours on housework had sex more frequently (with each other) though presumably not while vacuuming. (The report did not specify.)

Anyway. It goes on and on. I couldn't bear to read it: Creating the Ultimate Housework Workout

  1. This study must be wrong. What is with these scientist guys? I clean all the time and I have not had a good roll in the hay for months. Janet
