SportsArt Fitness E822 Elliptical: $3,299
Having harnessed power from such natural resources as the sun, wind and even poop, it's not surprising that we'd look to synthetic alternatives. One gaining popularity takes advantage of the fact that millions of people everyday are expending energy through exercise.

SportsArt Fitness' E822 Elliptical may not be able to send electricity to others; but as a self-generating source of electricity, it at least doesn't require any from the outside. Still, it's a fully functional machine with all sorts of person-powered bells and whistles. Its features include advanced heart rate programs, a manually adjustable stride length, a slew of feedback options and an optional entertainment screen bracket. Best of all, as you burn calories through 20 levels of smooth eddy-current resistance, you'll both figuratively and literally be feeling a sense of empowerment.
