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.
A leisurely hour-long bike ride burns around 298 for a person who weighs 155 pounds. But, according to the American Council on Exercise, the average indoor cyclist can burn up to 19 calories per minute, for a total of 1,140 calories an hour. Riding a stationary bike indoors isn't just good exercise -- it's an effective way to burn off fat.
