From this point on it was but a battle to kill the remaining Japanese soldiers for nothing. We could cause the enemy little damage; they could walk freely on the field of battle. The war of attrition was over, and we would simply be asking the enemy to use this formidable power to kill us all. (Yahara; The Battle for Okinawa, p. 137-138)
It turns out you canât go wrong with this gym standby. Not only are stationary bikes great for all fitness levels, theyâre also the perfect tool for accomplishing daily exercise goals. In fact, a 30-minute workout on a stationary bike can burn 300 or more calories, depending on intensity.
Calories Burned. According to the Mayo Clinic, for a 160-lb person, cycling for one hour at a leisurely pace of less than 12 miles per hour burns 292 calories. According to Health Status, if the pace is increased to 12 to 14 miles per hour, that same person will burn 634 calories in one hour.inally, if that same person speeds up to 14 to 16 miles per hour, which is a vigorous pace, he will burn 768 calories per hour. James Russell Stevens, a nutritionist at the Metropolitan State College of Denver, recommends to people who have more than 50 pounds to lose to aim for a weight loss of two pounds per week.
