Plogging

Saturday 21 May the appointment with Plogging returns : the meeting is at 8.30 in front of the Ego City Fit Lab in Via Carlo Del Prete. Plogging is a physical activity that consists of collecting small waste from the ground while running or walking briskly through the parks and streets of the city.

Each “plogger”, equipped with suitable clothing for physical activity, will have protective gloves for hands and collection bags in which to separate waste, thanks also to the active collaboration of Ego with the Plastic Free association.

“The many push-ups to lower to take cans, litter or cigarette butts, if performed with the correct mentality of those who do fitness, are perfect free squats to tone the buttocks, legs and the whole ‘core’ chain – explain the promoters – . Do not forget, of course, the positive effects on health and fitness of running and walking at a brisk pace: half an hour of plogging helps us burn more calories than half an hour of simple running along the same track, which is it will wind along the walls of Lucca, the interior of the ramparts and the underlying playgrounds “.

Participation in the event is free.
