PICKING UP THE PACE

Wendy Harris discovers a new way to work out that's good for Planet Earth!

Last week, I went plogging with my friend Justin. Plogging started in Sweden and it is now popular around the world because of social media. Erik Ahlström came up with the idea in 2016. He enjoyed exercising and he cared about the environment, so he organised groups to go jogging and pick up rubbish at the same time. That's how plogging got its name - it's a mix of 'jogging' and the Swedish word 'plocka upp', which means 'pick up'.

Just two minutes into our plog, Justin and I spotted our first piece of rubbish a plastic water bottle. Without stopping, Justin bent down, picked it up and threw it into his bag. "It's a great workout," he told me. "Bending down to pick up rubbish means that a half-hour plog burns 288 calories compared to 235 for a normal jog."

Plogging is hard, so half an hour is enough for us. By that time, both of our bags were half full - Justin's with recycling and mine with rubbish to throw away. I felt very proud of myself and I certainly plan to go plogging again.
