A TikTok video of a woman has gone viral while eating and riding McDonald's exercise bike in Guangdong, China. The TikTok video got 5 million views in merely 5 days - working out while eating fast food. Bikes are not just for exercise, and you can also charge your cell phone. Now it's deepened how much energy you produce.

As I mentioned, it's not only an exercise bike with a table connected to it; it's also a charger for a phone or any portable electronic device. The bikes are made of recycled plastic and allow riders to create power while eating, which can be used to charge their phones or other electronic gadgets.

According to a post on the shop's launch on McDonald's China, it was originally opened in September at a location in southern Guangdong province that encourages a low-carbon, ecologically friendly lifestyle. Bikes are a sign to promote healthy living and participate in the low-carbon initiative by the Guangdong province, China.

People are saying that at least this feels better, even when they are consuming more calories than they can burn. It also helps office workers who do not have time for exercise to eat and work out on launch break.

Last week, the video was also aired in China's Zhengguan News. It was re-posted from China's equivalent of TikTok, Douyin.

Another Douyin video showed a man riding while eating ice cream and sipping a beverage.

McDonald's China informed Insider that ten "Green Charging Bikes" are already available at two locations in Guangdong and Shanghai.

It looks like the world's biggest fast-food restaurant has merged the two activities to create a new experience for diners.- Mirror Now

Bonus: Benfits of Using Electric Exercise Bikes

Improve Fitness

According to research conducted by academics at Switzerland's University of Basel, riding an E-bike improves fitness just as well as standard bikes. Although cycling on an E-bike is pedal-assisted, it is still exercised and beneficial to your health, both psychologically and physically.

Here is one of the most reviewed e-bike on Amazon in case you are interested to take your fitness journey to the next level.

Great for the Mother Earth

Climate change/global warming are super important challenges, and we must all do our share to address them. We may be on the threshold of making our final stand to preserve our dying planet.

They use energy at a rate of 100 to 150 watts on average, compared to 15,000 or more for an automobile. As a result, this may aid in the improvement of air quality. You can contribute by riding an E-bike instead than driving a gasoline or diesel automobile.

The true advantage of exercise is that it increases your metabolism and circulation. Even if the temperature at your workplace drops by a few degrees, exercise will keep you warm.

A Great Soruce to Boost Energy

According to the DOE's Energy-Savers website, you may save 1% on your heating cost for every degree you turn your thermostat down throughout the winter.

It is a far better way to save electricity than charging your phone.

Simply reducing the temperature by 3 degrees can save around 100 times the energy required to charge a cell phone.
