Tread Lightly–or Not at All

Get in shape to wear all those nice, revealing party dresses throughout November and January.  But be considerate of everyone else on earth while you do it.  One way is to stay off of the gym’s treadmills.  You’d be surprised at how much fossil-fuel energy is used by the large building’s AC kept high for exercisers, plus power to the treadmill and TV in front of it—it’s like leaving on 50 CFLs or three or four 46″ LCD TVs during your workout! Instead, use machines powered by humans–or run outdoors and soak up nature.
