I guess if you are low on Amps you pull into a parking lot and do your exercise routine. "Yes... I will be a little late to the meeting. I have to charge my car!"
This according to Green Car Advisor: (http://blogs.edmunds.com/greencaradvisor/2008/12/gym-human-electric-hybrid-concept-car-packs-entire-health-club-into-a-cockpit.html)

Its maker -- Da Feng, a design student at Coventry University (http://www.diseno-art.com/encyclopedia/concept_cars/GYM_concept_car.html), England -- intended the exterior to resemble a World War II fighter aircraft. The cockpit is reminiscent of a Spitfire.
But it's its innards that are truly remarkable. An electric motor hooked up to a battery pack propels the vehicle. The pack can be charged via a plug-in socket, or by harnessing energy created by the driver using an electricity-generating array of built-in exercise equipment.
The equipment includes a stepping machine, a rowing machine, a bench press, a pull-up simulator and arm weights. This ain't no peddle car.
Feng said he was trying to come up with something different with the GYM Concept Car. To him we can rightly say: Mission accomplished!
