EVERYONE WHO OWNS CARDIO EQUIPMENT SHOULD READ!

Basically, you can retrofit your cardio equipment to take the extra energy you generate (by the rotating motion that i assume drives a generator) and pumps it back into the electrical grid. Not only does this save you money (by giving you credits from the electrical company) but it also is good for the environment! Did i mention this is the kind of thing you get tax breaks for?

The funny thing about this article is that I was at the gym the other day, running next to one of my buddies, when I thought to myself, "If only they could harness this energy, we could probably power the whole building with all these machines going". Turns out, I was right, at least in theory.
