When you go fo r a run outside, chances are that you’ll find litter all around you. Do you just go past it, or do stop and pick it up? If you c hoose the latter, you’re part of the latest fitness trend that’s sweeping the West: plogging.

The word “plo gging” combines the Swedish phrase “plocka upp”（pick up) and the English word “jogging”，according to Oxford Dictionaries.

Running is often associated with good causes. And plogging, which combines environmentalism with fitness, has become the new poster boy for the environmentally friendly runner. All a plogger needs is a trash bag and a pair of gloves to protect their hands.

The process of collecting garbage is simple, but it reflects serious environmental issues. When I usually walk through the streets of New York, the sight of newspapers, lost hats, and broken glass doesn’t bother me,” Matthew Sedacca of Men’s Health magazine wrote. “But when I was plogging and focused on trash collecting, the amount of garbage spread across the sidewalks was kind of shocking.”

The health benefits of plogging are easy to see. According to the Swedish fitness app Lifesum, doing 30 minutes of plogging bums around 288 calories, compared to 235 calories burned from just jogging.

US behavioral change therapist (治疗专家) Charles F, Porter also analyzed the additional actions a jogger needs to take for garbage collection. “You get the added benefit of carrying a few extra pounds, and you’re bending over and doing squats (深蹲), which is a move that’s essential to your everyday life. You’re getting a full body workout,” he told finance website Moneyish.

So the next time you go out jogging, why not carry a trash bag and collect some litter along the way? Your body and the environment will thank you.
