Converting your Workout to gym Energy!

2182086954_146d475920.jpgThere is now a man-powered energy-generating gym coming together in Seattle, Washington, which is taking human sweat and turning it into usable electric energy!  They do this how, you might ask....well by joining together the energy from spinning bikes to wind-generator motors, so that patrons of this new green 'microgym' can generate enough electricity to power the gym’s music system or run their own personal DVD player.  This Seattle gym got the idea from Hong Kong's, California Fitness gym, which is taking the energy from Treadmills and Stairmasters to run their televisions, music, and lights.    So if your interested in starting up a gym while saving energy and the planet, look into starting your own 'powered by YOU' gym or tell your current gym to look into greening theirs!
