Signed in 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi is an agreement between the British Crown and Maori. Around this time, there were 125,000 Maori and about 2000 settlers in New Zealand. Sealers and whalers were the first Europeans settlers, followed by missionaries.
Their male subjects burned 105 calories running, 52 walking; the women, 91 and 43. That is, running burns twice as many net calories per mile as walking. And since you can run two miles in the time it takes to walk one mile, running burns four times as many net calories per hour as walking.
Walking briskly (4mph speed) for 20 minutes burns about 117 calories for a 150 pound person. That may not seem like a lot, but if you did it 2 or 3 times a day, youâd burn a fair number of calories overall. If you were to climb stairs for 15 minutes, youâd burn approximately 137 calories.
