Go green with this light gym workout
Norma Connolly looks at efforts by inventor Lucien Gambarota and California Fitness to help make the gym become more environmentally friendly. Mr Gambarota has modified cardio machines at California Fitness, with the aim of turning energy that goes into burning calories into real energy that can be used to power lights and other electricity consuming devices.

It’s a great idea, it is the best way to work out, because the energy is not wasted as heat and friction but put back into the grid.

I was thinking about this 2 days ago, that maybe while people are watching TV they can do an excersize that hooks up to a car battery, then they can stick that charged battery in their car to save money on electricity.

I’ve been thinking about human powered electricity a lot lately. Not only is it a great idea, there will be money in it for sure. I’d certainly buy stock in a company who can make this idea a feasible reality.

I’m an Aussie but I used to work in Hong Kong, and that California Fitness gym in Central near Lan Kwai Fong was my gym. There were many times I used to sweat it out on a crosstrainer and think to myself that the machines should be hooked up to generators and feed back into the gym’s power supply. It’s like someone was tapping into my thought processes!
