Plogging: A New Fitness Trend that Blends Trash Pickup and Jogging

Plogging is a fitness trend that will help get you – and the environment – in shape. Scandinavians dreamed up this environmentally friendly form of exercise that blends jogging and picking up trash – and it’s taking off around the world.

Joggers are taking their workout to new levels as they simultaneously run and pick up litter. The BBC said not only do ploggers receive the benefits of running, but also of core-boosting squat movements to bend down and grab those bottles, cans, or other junk discarded on the ground. All you need to become a plogger is a workout outfit, a bag to collect garbage, and, ideally, a pair of gloves.
