The Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley, presented the Union Budget on the February 1 this year. The Budget is an important event that is watched and talked about by millions of people in our country. Why? Because the Budget explains how the government spent our country’s money last year and how it plans to spend it the coming year.

Some of the taxes we pay are Income Tax and Goods and Service Tax. The government of our country then uses this money to improve the lives of the poor, the underprivileged as well as you and me.

‘Plogging’ is the latest fitness buzzword – fresh from Sweden. Let’s see what it is all about…
The word ‘plogging’ is derived from ‘jogging’ and the Swedish ‘plocka upp’, meaning ‘pick up’. And thereby hangs a fitness tale – picking up trash while running on the trail!
As an activity, ‘plogging’ involves going for a run with intermittent sit-ups, squats and lunges (to collect trash), and it seems like a more natural workout.
‘Ploggers’ take plastic bags and trash-pickers along with them so they can easily pick up and store the collected trash/garbage that they find along their route. Older people use their walking poles to pick up waste paper and plastic.
Sounds like an environment friendly exercise alright! A 30-minute workout is recommended and can help you burn a few calories too!
