Environmentally friendly and staying in shape? We're intrigued.  

 

"Plogging" combining the words "plucking" and jogging", involves going for a jog, with a plastic bag or container. 

 

The twist is that you stop every time you see garbage. Squatting to pick it up also counts towards burning extra calories.

The first mention of the exercise on social media was in 2016, but the trend has only become popular more recently.

 

 

Not much of a runner? Plog on your bike, with your dog, pushing a buggy or in a group.

 Plogging is ultimately about getting any form of exercise that keeps you healthy and happy while also doing something great for the environment.

The satisfaction of a good exercise session and knowing that you're going good? Double karma points!
