1 . There are a lot of reasons to love biking, whether it brings back childhood memories of the past, provides an eco-friendly mode of transportation, or gives you an energizing way to move your legs.     1    

Biking can also help get you stronger without overly demanding your joints.     2    Biking is a non-weight bearing activity, which means it puts less stress on joints of the knees and ankles.

Just because you’re sitting down when biking, it doesn’t mean you can’t get a challenging training. There are a number of levers you can pull to level up or down your ride. This can come in the form of resistance, hills, and speed. A variety of all three at intervals is a great choice.

    4     Calorie burn is completely dependent on the weight of the rider, the amount of energy they are using to ride, and the time and distance they are riding. The more power output, the harder the ride, the more calories burned.

There are no hard and fast rules on how long and often you should ride a bike, as it depends on individual fitness levels, goals, and more.     5     If you are not working as hard or have different goals like endurance or recovery, then 45-60 minutes may be appropriate.

2 . The Isles of Scilly Fooball League is the world’s smallest official football league, consisting of only two teams that play each other seventeen times a season.

As the home of football, England has always been crazy about the team sport, and the Isles of Scilly, an archipelago (群岛) of more than 140 islands off the southwestern tip of Cornwall, is no exception. Like many other regions of England, the Isles have their own football league- -the Garrison Gunners and the Woolpack Wanderers that play each other every weekend during a season,as well as in two yearly cups and the traditional ‘Old Men versus the Youngsters’ game played on Boxing Day.

But isn’t playing against the same team every weekend gets boring after a while? Players in the Isles of Scilly Football League will tell you that life “is only boring without football”. So as long as they have someone to play against, no one complains.

Interestingly, both teams only rely on the inhabitants of St. Mary’ s island as a recruitment(招募) pool for players. The annual draft is getting harder every year, as the island’s young continue to leave in search of better prospects (前途) on the mainland. And bringing in players from the other islands is a tough task considering the difficulty of crossing during storms and in the frequent fog.“Players do come from other islands but that in itself can lead to problems. If it is too dangerous to cross, then they can’t play,“ Leathbridge said.

The world’s smallest football league shot to fame in 2008, when Adidas came to St. Mary’s to shoot its “Dream Big” commercial. Football stars like Patrick Vieira, Daniele De Rossi, David Beckham were flown in for the shoot, and the idea of a two-team league really captured people’s imagination. Football enthusiasts, news outlets and major corporations have been coming here ever since.

4 . For recreation league athletes, there's nothing worse than when one of your teammates drops out at the last minute. When a recreation league ice hockey（冰上曲棍球）team in Edmonton needed a goalie（守门员）,they got a save from an unlikely hero.

Nelson Rego, who is 100% blind, plays blind ice hockey for the Edmonton “SeeHawks" and accidentally met another goalie, John Hunter, who was inquiring online about a chest protector. Later Hunter got injured, and trying to help his team find a goalie for a league game, he reached out on the Edmonton Goalies Facebook page.

“Nelson calls me, and he starts out with, 'Hey, how's the chest protector going?’" Hunter later shared about the remarkable story. "Then Nelson continues, 'By the way, I'm not sure if this is a good idea but I've learned that you're looking for a goalie substitute for your- league game tonight. What do you think about me playing?’"

The team was “all in”, so Rego got ready for his first-ever sighted league match.

According to the players, they didn't tell the referee until the puck（冰球）drop that their goalie was blind- information with which he didn't really know what to do.

In an interview with CTV Edmonton , Rego explains he keeps himself centered in the goal by measuring the distance between the posts with his stick and his glove. After he uses sound to key into where the puck is and if it's being challenged, all the while he follows verbal instructions from his loving wife Emelinda, in the stands telling the action.

The game was by no means a washout for Rego, because even though Rego's team lost, he hung in there and earned the respect and admiration of the team.

This remarkable night is just one step in Rego's hockey career and he wants to go further. Rego says, "If it's something you want to do, just do it. It's amazing to watch hockey, but it's even better to play it. ”
