Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) is a real term used in healthcare that refers to daily basic self-care activities in an individual's residence, outdoor environment or both. The ability or inability that an individual performs their ADLs is a measure of the functional status of the individual, particularly the injured, those with disabilities and the elderly. Very young children require assistance from adults to perform ADLs since they have not yet developed the skills necessary to perform ADLs on their own.
Basic ADLs (bADLs) are the things we normally do such as bathing, dressing, feeding ourselves, functional mobility, personal hygiene and grooming. Instrumental ADLs (iADLs) are things such as housework, money management, preparing meals, shopping and work.

The only thing that will shrink the fat is proper nutrition and burning calories (cardio). Abs are made in the kitchen.
A lot of people clean by the 'top to bottom' rule but I just don't agree with it. With as much stuff that lands on the floor indicating 'depression' or a 'depressed spirit' I believe cleaning should be from 'bottom to top'. Get that stuff off the floor! If you need a quick pick-me-up, don't rely on coffee, bend over and pick up your stuff from 'bottom to top' and your spirit will feel picked-up as well.
