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.

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.
A 200-lb. person will burn 120 calories with a leisurely bike ride, but traveling between 12 and 14 mph will burn 264 calories in 20 minutes. A 240-lb. person will burn 144 calories in 20 minutes, while more vigorous biking will burn 317 calories.
