You recycle, you turn off the lights, you're making conscious decisions every day to reduce your impact on the environment. So why, then, are you still driving your gas guzzler to the gym to walk or run on an electric treadmill?If you're looking to green your workout, look no farther than 50plus.com and their tips on Earth-conscious workouts. They've got some great advice, including:
- Walk or run in your neighborhood or nearby trails.
- Keep the thermostat down during the winter months, and ward off the chills with calisthenics.
- If you want to stay in, find a used stationary bike, which doesn't use electricity.
- Rehydrate with a reusable water bottle, and ditch the bottled water habit for good.
- Become an eco-runner and clean up the environment while you exercise.
