Say hello to Plogging, a delightful combination of jogging and picking up trash, which can help work out the entire body thanks to the cardio from running combined with the squatting and lifting associated with stopping to pick up discarded papers, plastics and other litter along the way.A post shared by Tom MKB training (@mkbtraining) on
Plogging first got its start in Sweden a couple of years ago and since then it has taken off in other parts of the globe, with the social media hashtag #plogging documenting the workouts of ploggers the world over – and showcasing just how beneficial plogging can be for the environment.A post shared by Keweenaw Running Group (@keweenaw_running_group) on
