Green-up your workout gear

Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours

Earth-friendly workout gear abounds—who knew? From recycled yoga mats to earth-friendly shoes, there are a host of options available. Perhaps most important: Consider how you travel to your workout site (why drive when you can walk or ride your bike?). Today, do a few minutes of Internet research investigating environment-friendly workout gear options. Here are some ideas:
• Use recycled products or materials whenever possible.
• Find a re-usable water bottle in a safe metal or plastic.
• Wear synthetic shoes to avoid leather.

Always consult a physician before starting any exercise routine.

    I guess I would have had to actually work out to succeed at this one! or maybe I’m ultra-green from not having used any equipment whatsoever! haha. I’m off to try again. Actually – my yoga mat is from freecycle.org so I guess I did better than I thought.

    Can you imagine how much your NOT filling the landfills, if you just take a reusable water bottle? I work out 5days/week, man that can add up. I’m definitely looking into purchasing some new winter wear that has recycled polyester/fleece products.

    The best thing you can do for the environment is to use the things you already have.
