Originally posted by MissOleumI like the idea. I have often thought that it's silly that all the energy people put into exercising isn't put into use. Why not do something useful while exercising - load some batteries while jogging or heat up the water for the shower while you are sweating on your training bicycle? It could work as a motivator, too.
