How to keep your workout good for the planet

Crush your fitness goals while easing up on the environment.

Exercise outside – Get your endorphins and vitamin D in one workout. Walking to work doubles as exercise and treads lightly on the planet.

Lose the plastic – Think about the number of water bottles you’ve used in your lifetime. Multiply that by the planet’s seven billion people. Daunting, isn’t it? With so many options for reusable bottles, we’re running out of excuses for buying plastic.

Purchase eco-friendly gear – Countless workout items are made from recycled materials, including shoes and clothes. Gyms are following the trend and buying greener equipment, too.
