Why keep fit alone when you can save the planet alongside? Yes, you heard that right! By keeping fit sustainably, you simply go green with your workout methods and routine as you keep fit and healthy. Let's look at practical ways by which you can keep fit using sustainable means.
1. USE REAL FOOTPRINTS NOT CARBON FOOTPRINT
Why not walk or jog to the gym instead of taking your car? Begin your daily routine by connecting with mother earth with your real footprints as you jog and you reduce your carbon footprint by doing so. If the gym is too far, consider cycling there or using public transport.
2. KIT UP SUSTAINABLY
Use eco-friendly and recycled workout kit. You don't have to buy a new set of gym clothes or backpack when the ones you have wear out. You can be creative with what you have by upcycling to make new and stylish workout gear. Don't forget to have a reusable bottle handy so you don't have to get new ones whenever you hit the gym.
3. GET RECHARGED WITH GREEN ENERGY
Take fruits, organic energy boosting bars and drinks to get recharged as you workout. Cut down on synthetic energizers especially with packaging that is unsustainable or that could contribute to environmental waste.
4. HIT A GREEN GYM
A green gym basically employs sustainable means in running its workout routines. Little or no electricity is used as sustainable alternative means are used to power the machines and utilities. Sustainable and recycled gym gear are also made available. Look out for one around your area and sign up right away. In the absence of any, you can simply conduct your routine on your own, which also saves you the cost of consuming power. Relish the fresh air as you jog, cycle or workout without consuming power.
5. SUPPORT THE GREEN MOVEMENT
You can also look out for races or events that raise money to promote the green cause. Register for them and take part in the race or event. Your money goes a long way in aiding eco-conscious organizations as they make green impact all over the world.
There you go Captain Earth, apply these tips to your workout methods and you would be saving the planet everyday. Not all heroes wear capes, some wear recycled sneakers and use workout equipment powered by green energy. Join the league of superheroes today by keeping fit sustainably.
