Living a healthier lifestyle doesn’t only mean you need to work out regularly and eat right. You can get in shape and conserve the planet’s resources by ‘greenifying’ your routine! Here are some easy ways to make your workouts more eco-friendly:

1. Use a sports bottle, not a water bottle. Skip the convenience of plastic water bottles and fill your own sports bottle instead. All that extra plastic is just going to a landfill, so you can take a greener approach simply by using a flask or portable bottle throughout your workout and busy day.

2. Walk to the gym. If you live just a couple of miles from the gym, consider walking or jogging there as part of your workout. You’ll be saving emissions from the car, and it’s a great way to get outdoors for some fresh air before your gym routine.

3. Wear vegetarian shoes. Vegan and vegetarian shoes are made without leather, but are just as sturdy and strong as regular styles. Vegan shoes are typically made with recycled materials and natural fibers such as hemp, natural cotton and bamboo. Narrow down your search for green shoes as you walk the walk with your eco-friendly lifestyle.

4. Use organic towels. Do you need to carry around an extra towel or two when you hit the gym? Wick away sweat and moisture with organic towels that will show your support for the planet and get the job done. Organic towels are made with supersoft bamboo cotton and natural fibers, and can easily be stashed in your gym bag or tote for your workout routine.

5. Snack on organic foods. From organic energy bars, to trail mix, to granola, make sure your diet is healthy by snacking on organic foods between meals, or before a workout. Organic, unprocessed snacks can give you that much-needed energy boost you need and support your healthy, and green, lifestyle.

There are dozens of ways to ‘go green’ and enjoy a healthier lifestyle, and you can use any of these strategies to ensure your workout routine not only helps you achieve your health goals, but also supports the planet!
