What makes up green fitness?
The idea is that your routine is green - a concern for the environment - while at the same time keeping you fit. Pretty basic. Yet many people don't understand where to even begin when it comes to green fitness.
As a green fitness expert I would like to point out there are quite a bit of easy things you can do to achieve this goal. Most people believe that you have to join a gym. Then you have to hit the treadmills, elliptical and other fancy gadgets to get a workout. Well that couldn't be further from the truth.
Swimming in a lake or stream or ocean is a great way to green your fitness provided access and good weather. This is extraordinarily green and provides a huge calorie burn. You can also bicycle for fun, or to get a nice workout. This can also become a community activity with friends and family. Short trips to the grocery on the bike burn some extra calories and save the earth. Walking, Hiking, Climbing and running are also great green fitness activities.
Utilizing the precious earth.
Also using the earth to improve your fitness is great way to green your fitness. For example finding a low hanging sturdy tree branch for pull ups. Hanging ropes over them for climbing and pull up activities is also an awesome way to utilize the earth for your fitness activities. One of the best venues for greening your fitness is a hill. With a hill you can walk, jog, sprint, bike and even bear crawl up it to get a great fitness workout.
Green fitness products.
Also as you search the web you will find more and more green fitness and eco-friendly products that are available for purchase. Even retailers such as amazon are working toward providing more green purchase options for consumers.
