Annabel McGill Working Out Pays Off


Summary: They have installed a new type of gym in Hull, England. It is a public gym and it is also free of charge…sort of. It is in a park and when people ride on the bikes or exercise on the treadmills and the energy that the people are using to power the machines are what is powering the lights in the gym. The energy is harnessed and so they hope that soon they will be able to make more of them and with the surplus energy they can lower the electric bills. It is an expensive project but this is a great way to get people out of bed and exercising. This is just one of the ways that different energy can be used to power other things.

Analysis: This is an amazing project and I wish that we had it in America. Obesity is a very pressing issue and a great way to motivate people to exercise is by having it possibly save them money. It is also very environmentally friendly which is another big issue that we are having. I am very glad that there has been such an amazing breakthrough and it is just one great way to not only save the environment, but our economy, and people too.
