Clean-up exercise

Next time you go for your morning cardio — a walk, jog, run, or even cycling — consider combining it with some litter-picking. In 2016, the Swedes were the first to embrace this unique, eco-friendly way of working out. It is called plogging.

Plogging is a fun way to tweak your fitness drill. It moves your muscles in ways they are not used to. It challenges you by bringing in a new range of movements — stretching, squatting, and pulling — into your workout routine. Apart from the fact that you are constantly on the move, you are also putting your flexibility to test while picking up litter.

You could put in more exercises if you want a more intense plogging session: maybe spice it up with a few walking lunges, butt kicks, and high knees.
