(1 m by 2 m) floor space is sufficient for the 20-min. routine of calisthenics I developed years ago. The human animal evolved over an unimaginably large expanse of time, during which physical exertion was necessary for survival. Simulating the evolutionary norm with only 20 min. of workout per day is a stupendous bargain...
...antiquity and spatial design of the older Houses could be causing weak wireless access by the Charles. “The River Houses have very peculiarly shaped halls and rooms,” he says, explaining that this limits where Internet cables can be inserted into the outdated floor plans. Along these lines, Kroll attributes the general wireless satisfaction in the Quad—with Pforzheimer House topping at 73 percent satisfied and only 14 percent dissatisfied—to the fact that its buildings are more “regularly shaped,” and can thus be covered...
