Question: how many calories do you burn when vacuuming?
Answer: Vacuum Carpets and Floors Pushing your vacuum cleaner around every room in the house requires some serious calories. Vacuuming for 30 minutes zaps 99 calories if you're 120 pounds, 124 calories if you're 150 pounds, and 166 calories if you're 200 pounds. Do dance moves or lunges while you push to pump up the burn.
