‘Plogging’ Might Just Be The Best Fitness Trend Yet

Move over Hygge and laters Lagom. There’s officially a new Scandi trend taking the wellness world by storm.   

Introducing, Plogging: the exercise movement that not only benefits your mind and body but also the environment.

Basically, it’s when you go for a run and collect rubbish on your travels (which makes sense considering it’s literally an amalgamation of the words 'picking up” and “jogging.”)

(I WHISH THIS WAS A JOKE)Out #plogging (picking rubbish when jogging, so "rubbishing" in english..hehe) BUT this is a CHALLENGE!😃🚮⬇️ Let's save the oceans, our earth- 1 bag at a time! 💪 Bin Bag Challenge - #binbagchallenge We all remember the famous and viral "Ice Bucket Challenge" to raise awareness for the neurodegenerative disease ALS. Please help by collecting at least 1 single bag full of rubbish from the closest beach, coastline or even under water OR If you are not near the sea, you can also collect some rubbish in the nearby park. Like I did - go for a run and bring a plastic bag! 🤙#easypeasy Take a picture and post it and nominate at least 3 friends to follow your example and collect at least 1 bag of trash. #plogga #binbagchallenge Let's make this viral and spread the message - 1 bag at a time... 💪🌍🌎🌏#BINBAGCHALLENGE I NOMINATE @paulasimonsphotography 🏖📷 @stcosta55 🌊@superruta ⛰ @naomistudnitz 🏖 @cafedelmarpanama🍝 🏝 @sannawestin4 ✈ @felcaz5 🌮 @vergarariera 🌃☕ @titofrez ✂️💇‍♀️💃@fredrikdexter🏃‍♂️🚵‍♂️ @daphneblosom 🏄‍♀️ @carolaarma🏃‍♀️ Www.rateyourdive.com created this fantastic idea, cooperatipn with Www.bansdiving.de to take on that idea and start the "Bin Bag Challenge" to raise awareness about environmental pollution on our planet and especially in our #oceans - so to say a worldwide degenerative disease of our planet and therefore affecting EVERYONE ! #savetheplanet #dykkingithailand #bansdiving #kohtao #earth #cleanup #running #scubadiving #planetearth #trash #jogging #löpning #ja #vegan @plogga

“Plogging shares some characteristics with interval training, which uses recovery to improve fitness and fat burning,” explains Metro UK’s fitness expert Miranda Larbi. 

“It’s also got elements of mobility training – reaching down to pick up rubbish will extend the range of motion that you’re using.”

Plus, having to carry around a bag full of trash will help burn cals way quicker. Win.

No bag no problem. Hiking this 6 miles to put it in a bin.

Wanna get in on the craze? All you need is a solid pair of running shoes and a sturdy recycling bag. It also wouldn’t be a bad idea to don some gloves too (coz, germs).

Ended the run with cleaning up after people who celebrated 2018 (and thought it was a good idea to leave their trash😈) It took maximum 10 min for everything😱 #plogga #plogging

So go forth, get fit AND do your bit for the planet, you eco-warrior, you!
