\"\"Seems like everyone has at least some workout routine these days.<\/p>\n

Do you?<\/p>\n

Are you just starting? Considering starting?<\/p>\n

Well, you can make you workout energy-efficient for the earth too.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to get a good workout and save energy at the same time:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Energy-Efficient Exercise Machines<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Truth be told, most of today\u2019s models have high energy efficiency. For example, if you\u2019re thinking about a stationary bike or elliptical machine, they use little electricity. They don\u2019t have a motor, requiring electricity only for a computer control system and maybe a resistance device.<\/p>\n

    If you obsess about saving energy, you can get one of the older models which have no computer-driven resistance or control system.<\/p>\n

    Treadmills, on the other hand, suck their fair share of electricity. They have a motor operating that belt you walk or run on.<\/p>\n

    By the way, did you know the treadmill was actually invented in a prison? Sir William Cubitt, an English civil engineer, invented the forerunner to the treadmill in 1818, which was called the \u201ctreadwheel.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Convicts climbed it much like our modern Stairmaster in 8-hour shifts, pumping water or crushing grain. Read the full story about the origin of the treadmill here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Anyway, just understand the treadmill can be quite the consumer of electricity.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Join a Green Health Club<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Fitness centers have found that they more easily attract members when they advertise their green-friendly business practices.<\/p>\n

      So if you decide not to set up a gym in your home, you can still feel good about saving energy when you do exercise.<\/p>\n

      A rare gym may also actually use exercise equipment that collects electrical energy caused by fitness equipment users and returns it to the grid.<\/p>\n

      That\u2019s incredibly rare, though. And it\u2019s certainly not available in every metro area. So don\u2019t make it a requirement.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Don\u2019t Use Any Electricity At All<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Okay, so let\u2019s close with the obvious. You\u2019re 100% energy-efficient when you don\u2019t use any electricity at all.<\/p>\n

        You can easily get a great workout using a bench and an adjustable-weight dumbbell.<\/p>\n

        …And there\u2019s about a million exercise programs you can follow to strengthen your muscles that don\u2019t use any weights at all.<\/p>\n

        Maybe you do cheat a little by setting up your phone or laptop with an exercise video from YouTube to follow along to. But still, your energy usage is minimal.<\/p>\n

        Yes. Saving energy while working out is easy. And now you know all the options you have at your disposal.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
