excerpt

“Have you heard the recommendation to walk at least 10,000 steps every day to stay healthy? Sounds good, but what if you’d rather ride your bike? Which way of keeping healthy is more effective? Let’s take a closer look.

Walking takes up more time

Walking 10,000 steps would transport the average person about 8 km (5 mi). If we consider the average speed of walking, 5 km/h (3 mph), then it would take roughly 1 hour and 36 minutes to complete the daily amount of steps.” (…)

What is better for me, cycling 5 miles or walking 5 miles?
(UK)
“There are so many variables in this calcualtion as to make any answer pretty meaningless. How many gears does your bike have? What gear will you be cycling in? Are you going uphill, downhill or both? You might be able to freewheel the whole way, so running would certainly expend more energy. What kind of surface are you cycling/running on? How fast are you planning to run/cycle? The list of variables is endless.” (…)

Exercise Bike Vs. Walking / By Chris Dinesen Rogers

“For an efficient, low-impact workout, you can’t go wrong with an exercise bike or walking. Both activities help you maintain a healthy weight and improve your cardiovascular health.

With an exercise bike at home or walking, you can train at any time. Each allows you to slow down the pace or ramp up the intensity as needed. When deciding which activity to do, choose the one that keeps you challenged and motivated.” (…)

La Biblioteca Regional de Murcia, la prensa y la cultura

twitter: @eugenio_fouz

La Biblioteca Regional de Murcia (@brmu) está al loro de todo lo que tenga que ver con la cultura. Esta mañana de septiembre, antes de comenzase la lluvia, compartía en la red del pájaro azul un enlace a una página de The Guardian realizado por el escritor Neil Gaiman y el ilustrador Chris Riddell. En el mini-cómic defienden la necesidad de las bibliotecas y los libros en papel.

Edna O´Brien, writer

I have just read this on the headline of “The Guardian“. The author of “The Country Girls“ Edna O´Brien talks on the loneliness of writers in an interview to the British newspaper.
