Healthy living isn't only about being fit -- it's about being good to the environment as well. Because after all, we can only be as healthy as our our earth is, don't you agree? I recently picked up the October '07 issue of Fitness Magazine while on the treadmill at my gym, and they listed three ways you can green up your workout:
- Use green transportation. Why drive to the gym if you're going to hop on the exercise bike when you're there? Why not ride your bike to the gym and do something good for the workout and the environment?
- Buy a reusable water bottle. Those little individual water bottles wreak havoc on the environment -- yes, they can be recycled but recycling uses resources too and I bet many of them aren't recycled.
- Recycle your old sneakers. There are plenty of programs that will make good use of your old sneakers. Find one in your area!
