As we become more aware of the negative impact of our activities on the environment, we should strive towards making every aspect of our lives more eco-friendly, including our workouts. Your workout habits can have a positive impact on the planet and here’s how you can make them more sustainable.
Outdoor Workout
Outdoor and equipment-free workouts are much more eco-friendly than using gym machines that require a lot of electricity. Going on a run, hike, or bike ride is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint.
Eco-Friendly Commute
You can also put an effort into making your commute more eco-friendly. Walking or biking to work can double down as a workout and allow you to stay more active while also keeping your carbon emissions on the down low.
Sustainable Activewear
Many activewear brands are trying to put a sustainable twist on their workout clothes, so do your research and find brands that make workout clothes and shoes from recycled materials.
Reusable Bottles
It’s very important to stay hydrated during your workouts, but that doesn’t mean you should buy a new bottle of water each time. Ditch bottled water by buying reusable stainless steel or glass water bottle that you can refill every time.
