Hey everyone,

Just a quick note to let you know the remnants of Hurricane Ike blew through Columbus, Ohio yesterday and left the FatFighterTV “studios” with no power. So, I am online right now for just a bit at my brother’s house.

I so wish I had one of these people-powered exercise machines that I told you about earlier this month. I would even settle for a Fender Blender because I totally miss my daily chocolate-banana-peanut butter protein shakes!

Hope to be back to regular posting soon!

These are no ordinary exercise machines. Nope. When you get on this four-person workout wonder, called Team Dynamo, you pedal together to drive a generator that helps power The Green Microgym – a new environmentally friendly health club that opened last week in Portland, Oregon.

The new gym uses a combination of solar and human power to run the place. It also features treadmills that use 30-percent less electricity, recycled flooring, and green workout classes.

Team Dynamo is kind of like the Fender Blender I told you about last month, only you get to make electricity instead of a smoothie. :) Pretty cool, huh?
