The pain of Spring cleaning

The snow is disappearing and you can hear the birds again.
That usually means plans are afoot, at least you are starting to plan anyway, about the annual
Spring Clean.
Remember this means you have to use your muscles, don't take yourself out of the game before you start, just keep these three things in mind.

• Gently stretch each muscle group for at least 60 seconds before and after you finish your cleaning.
  
• Hydrate! Lots of water or an electrolyte containing sports drink.
• Ice the worked muscle group immediately after especially heavy lifting, maybe with a glass of wine or something. Remember you want to keep this fun or nobody will want to help you
