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?

I  thought it would be fun to end the week with this Fender Blender. Yep, it’s a bicycle powered blender. You pedal. It blends. Talk about working hard for a smoothie, huh?

I was at an outdoor festival once and got to try it at one of the booths. It was fun! Not that I’d want to pedal for every smoothie I have, but it was definitely worth the experience.

Go to The the Juice Peddler to see all the bike blender varieties. Enjoy!
