How to Hit Your Weekly MET Goal Without the Gym
Gym closed? Or just hate going? No problem. The beauty of MET (Metabolic Equivalent) is: Everything counts.
As long as the intensity is there, even chores are a workout.
Home High-MET Activity Guide
-
Power Cleaning (3.5 METs) Scrubbing windows, washing the car, mopping vigorously. 1 hour = 3.5 MET·h. Clean house, fit body.
-
Jump Rope (10.0 - 12.0 METs) The king of home cardio. Just 15 minutes gives you about 2.5 MET·h! Super efficient.
-
Stair Climbing (8.0 METs) Skip the elevator. Climb 10 flights. Excellent cardio.
-
Tabata / HIIT (8.0+ METs) 20 minutes of burpees and squats with a YouTube video.
