Spring cleaning can be simple and energizing. Use it as an opportunity to refresh your space, move your body, and feel good while you do it! These tips can help you get started.
Start small and keep it simple. Pick one room, one drawer, or even one shelf. Focusing on one area at a time is easier on your body and your mind.
Try short cleaning sessions. Set a timer for 10–15 minutes. Focus, clean, and then give yourself a break. Quick sessions keep your energy up and keep you moving without wiping you out.
Turn cleaning into gentle exercise. Fit in a little more movement with everyday chores. Squat to pick things up, stretch to reach shelves, stand as you fold laundry, or move around as you vacuum.
Play your favorite music. Turn on your favorite playlist. Upbeat music can make wiping counters or sweeping floors feel more exciting. And it might even inspire you to dance!
Move as you organize. As you declutter, set aside items to donate or recycle—lifting, carrying, and sorting adds extra steps and keeps your body moving.
Celebrate even the small stuff. Finish a task? Take a moment to enjoy it. Grab a cup of tea, step outside for fresh air, or enjoy a quick snack. Small rewards keep you motivated and make cleaning feel satisfying.
As you clean this spring, keep your body moving! Dance, reach, stretch, bend, lift, or squat. Every little move increases your energy and refreshes your home.
Ready to start? Choose one area, spend 5–10 minutes tidying, and see how a few minutes of cleaning can boost your mood and get you moving.
