Woman Mops Apartment Corridor As A Workout; Says She's "Too Lazy To Exercise In Other Ways"

Instead of the usual stroll or grocery run to squeeze in some extra steps, one woman from Malaysia found the most wholesome way to get her workout in, while making her neighbours very happy. 

Earlier this week, the woman, Izzati, took to Threads to share that after having a late dinner one day, she decided to mop the corridor outside her apartment just to keep herself occupied.

“I’ve reached a crazy level where I’ll mop an entire apartment floor just because I had a late dinner… I’m too lazy to exercise in other ways, so I might as well become a useful member of the community,” she wrote. Along with her post, she shared photos of the freshly mopped corridor. 

Speaking to Malaysian media, Izzati revealed that mopping the corridor was actually something she did regularly, rather than a spur-of-the-moment decision.

“I always mop the corridor floor. It’s an excuse for me to include some form of exercise. Also, a little reminder for everyone to get some exercise and take care of their health,” she shared. 

Netizens were amused by Izzati’s actions, with many praising her for multitasking by burning calories while doing a good deed.

Some shared that they also clean communal areas like stairwells and balconies as a form of exercise. Others playfully asked if she would be willing to help mop their corridors next.

One netizen quipped that she should be careful not to show up with “a paint bucket and roller” next, or she might leave her neighbours puzzled by the sudden corridor makeover.

Another even joked that the cleaner would probably be surprised to see how pristine the floor was the following day.

Well, we’re not sure there’s a better way of turning a chore into a workout and a good deed all at once.
