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.
According to Everydayhealth.com, a cyclist burns about 5.5 calories per hour per pound of body weight riding between 16 and 20 mph. Riding between 12 and 14 mph burns about 3.6 calories per mile per pound. In other words, a 130-pound woman burns about 715 calories riding 17 miles in one hour. If she slows down to 13 mph, she burns only 468 calories per hour. If she goes mountain biking, which burns about 3.9 calories per pound per hour, she burns about 507 calories even though she may only cover eight miles.
