‘Plogging’ is a Swedish fitness trend that combines running with picking up litter

TwitterFacebook

Forget about Hygge, Lagom, and Ikea’s attempt to start a twin duvet revolution. There’s a new Scandinavian trend in town. 

This trend encourages people to pick up litter while out running. So, it’s not just good for your health, it’s also good for the environment. 

It’s called ‘plogging’—a portmanteau of jogging and the Swedish plocka upp, meaning ‘pick up.’ 

So hot is this new trend that fitness app Lifesum is allowing its users to log and track their plogging activity as a workout. 

Plogging combines going for a run with intermittent squatting or lunging (to collect rubbish), which actually sounds like a pretty satisfying workout.

The Whoop is pro sports’ favorite wearable. After training with it, I can see why.

TwitterFacebook

The wrist-worn fitness tracker, as a category, is well past its zenith.

Even in 2017, fitness trackers are still little more than overwrought pedometers for disinterested users who’ll probably ditch them after a few months. Many of these devices, which don’t run apps or have most of the capabilities of a smartwatch, have proved capable of basic activity monitoring among casual exercisers and, sure, they may have even helped save a few lives, but on the whole the insights are typically obvious and don’t have much to tell the average user after a week or two.

For high-level athletes, the bands are particularly useless. I’ve already aired my grievances about the current state of fitness trackers, but there’s an important subcategory of the segment that deserves a closer look: Devices that cater unashamedly to performance athletes — those who train for specific goals and sports rather than their overall fitness.
