(TOKYO) — If you’re trying to lose weight and want a new way to do it, stair-climbing as a regular exercise — or just adding a few flights a day — might be for you. It’s accessible, and research shows it’s more effective than walking on level ground.

These competitions are for the very fit, but we’re talking here about adding a few minutes of stair-climbing as a daily routine and raising awareness about its effectiveness for all ages. “How many calories will I burn is the question everyone wants to know,” van Houten said.

This is written with no joy or satisfaction, but even the cases of receiver Demaryius Thomas (positional logjam), cornerback Aqib Talib (needed multiple All-Pro berths) and Tom Nalen (center is a forgotten position) face long odds. So it raises an interesting question: Who will be the Broncos’ next Hall of Famer?

Who’s being unwelcoming now, RTD? Re: “Greyhound buses will get booted by RTD,” Sept. 19 news story I used to live across the street from the old Greyhound Station. I now live a block from Union Station. I was very excited when I heard that Union Station was going to be a true transportation hub for all kinds of travelers and that the Greyhound station would become a part of it.

Kamala Harris still has time to change direction on U. S. policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a way that could secure her the presidency, reduce further damage to Washington’s standing internationally, stop what many—including many Jews, Israelis, and Holocaust scholars—have called a genocide in Gaza, and prevent a regional war.
