The snow is piled up outside and I am curled up on my couch, asking the groundhog for a do-over. But just in case he doesn’t come through and we really are stuck with six more weeks of winter, it’s a good thing we’ve got FatFighterTV’s Winter Workouts (indoors) giveaway series to help you keep working out without stepping out into the cold. 
Giveaway #5 in the series is the cLEAN Momma DVD – it’s an exercise routine you can do while you clean your house! After she had her second child, Carolyn Barnes created it as a way to incorporate fitness into her hectic life.
She says it’s all about multitasking. Whether you have to do dishes, laundry, or mop, Barnes says the cLEAN Momma 45-minute interval training workout will help you learn how to get all your chores done while you tone your stomach, legs and tush. Nice!
This week, two FFTV members will get a copy of the cLEAN Momma DVD! To enter for a chance to win, just head down to the comments and tell me what you do when you clean your house to incorporate some type of exercise.
Me – sometimes when I’m doing laundry I go up and down the stairs a few more times than I really need.
See you in the comments!
Contest runs through midnight EST this Friday, February 12, you have to have a U.S. mailing address to enter, and we will use random.org to pick the winners.

I play music to keep me energized. I’d rather work out than clean so it’s more to motivate me to get the cleaning done but it serves a double purpose.
I hate to clean but when I do, it’s all about speed so I get get it done. Maybe that counts as cardio??
LOL Joanna – I think so!
Is this where I enter giveaway#5:cLEAN Momma? Ive been cleaning for 40 years of marriage and need some excitement to keep me motivated.
Gloria – Yes, you came to the right spot to enter the giveaway! And I agree, after 40 years of cleaning, you definitely need some excitement to keep you motivated!
I have CFS so it takes me days to get my housework done. I definately need something to make it fun and to motivate me.
Tammie – Sorry about your CFS. That would really make doing housework even less desirable.
Music keeps me motivated and moving when I clean. I don’t think anyone really likes to clean, but like Joanna I am all about speed- I save one afternoon for cleaning and do the whole house at once!
Marla – Wow, I need tips from you. I am a SLOW cleaner!
ok I make myself lift properly and get things done- yep its about speed but just getting off your butt even if its to clean up the backyard scooping poop its a chore..moving wood for the fireplace- lifting and bending properly It has to be done- don’t hurt yourself and doit properly
I clean while watching The Biggest Loser, The Bachelor, or American Idol!
sign me up
I have to say the same as some cleaning at a fast pace works for me guess you can call it a cardio work out/clean house.
I am the world’s worst housekeeper. When I do clean, I put on some music or the radio to keep me moving. I need to win this because it might give me more of an incentive to clean more often.
When I do laundry I have to go up and down 3 flights of stairs and I have to fold it and put it away so that’s even more.. I do about 20 loads a week so figure that one out
Gianna – 20 loads a week????! That’s a lot of stairs!
I use the stairs, both flights, as a cardio tool. And, when I vacuum I do leg lunges.
Arlis – lunges when you vacuum? I am impressed!
I do stretches when i reach for things i’m cleaning.
Playing music with a beat and sucking in my abs!
Excellent music must be playing to keep me motivated!
i play uptempo music while cleaning
I turn the music up really loud and dance with the tunes
I try to incorporate a few moves like lunges, etc. Or else I just try to get it all done really quickly so I have time to work out!
I cannot clean without putting music on, and the beat also helps me move around faster and I feel like Im buring calories while Im cleaning!
Every time I make a sweep with the broom, I stand on my tiptoes to get a bit of a calf workout.
I go up and down “stairs” while I’m washing dishes.
I’ll go outside to hang laundry on the clothesline instead of stuffing it in the dryer.
