What is Plogging? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cPlogging\u201d is the combination of jogging, and the Swedish phrase <\/span>plocka up<\/span><\/i>, meaning \u201cpick up,\u201d. Encourages you to clean up the streets by adding squats and lunges to your jog to pick up litter. Wear what you would normally for a run, but take a bag with you to collect recyclables. <\/span><\/p>\n

The trend, of course, has its own hashtag and is already taking over social media. But we can not turn our noses up on using fitness to help the environment. <\/span><\/p>\n
