What is plogging?

Plogging is a fitness trend with one aim – to encourage people to stay in shape, while doing their own personal part to help the environment. The movement, which originated in Sweden in 2016, has since taken Europe by storm, spreading across the world as far as India and South Africa.

Plogging isn’t just good for the planet or your mind – it also gives your workouts an extra boost. When picking up litter you’re adding squats and stretches to your run! Anyone can plog: all you need to get started is your running gear, a bag for litter, and a pair of gloves to protect your hands.
