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.
Regular aerobic exercise leads to better health and cardiovascular fitness, but the weight-management benefits of cycling depend on your creating a calorie deficit. Riding a bike only produces weight loss if you burn more calories than you consume. Consult the energy needs estimates published in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010 to get a general idea of how many calories you need daily to maintain your weight.
