For the life of a stager, we are very familiar with "stagercising", it's the new form of exercising when staging a home to sell.
It is a physically demanding job, requiring lifting, pushing, pulling, holding, and moving items and furniture of all sizes around, yo and from a storage unit, then to a truck, then out of the truck and carrying loads and loads of totes, and furniture into the property, usually up stairs. This alone if you're counting is about an 2 hours worth of aerobic exercise. Get the picture yet?
Do this several times a week, and you have no need to go to the gym. If you're lucky enough to live in the South, with the humidity level always at 100 percent or more you also get the use of a free sauna, (compliments of mother nature). And in the winter months, our friends to the North get to battle the snow and ice.
And if you're really lucky, all of your help (below) is gone or out-of-town and can't help you, so you get to do everything yourself. Can you move sofas, tables, dressers and Master beds? That's another 1 hour worth of aerobics.
Do this for several days, not forgetting to also carry large objects up and down stairs, town homes are great for this, they have at least 4 flights of stairs...great for the glut's. All-in-all a total body workout!
And then we all have the time to go home and be the princesses that we are and take our bubble baths!
And the best part is you'll sleep like a baby when your done!

Too true Cindy, I lose 5 lbs every time I Stage a house for a full day. Who needs a gym membership!
Cindy, this is way too funny and way too true. Linda and I have had those weeks where every day was a staging day and by the end of the week we have to prop each other up to get into the house so we can fall down and be comatose. Thanks for making us smile....
Then add a heat wave and even more pounds come off!! Great post Cindy-very cute and creative!
Cindy- this is so true, it's just that I am so tired and hungry when I finish staging that I eat twice as much. LOL God bless,
Cindy,
When does the home work out video hit the market?
So that is where I am getting my flat abs from & here I thought it was my grueling CORE workout.
PS - still not flat, yet
So funny, so true! Sometimes I feel like such a grunt laborer! Dragging a rug last week, I pulled a muscle in my back. Boo hoo! I still love what I do though :)
