LOS ANGELES Cheap Nike Air Vapormax Flyknit , Sept. 26 (Xinhua) — Are you still going to the gym? Have you ever thought about how much germ you would expose to when you use the equipment there? A recent research study showed that many kinds of fungus can be picked up at the gym and brought home and some of the equipment are even dirtier than public toilet seats.

FitRated, a professional website providing info about popular fitness equipment for costumers, conducted a test on 27 different kinds of equipment in three nationwide chain fitness centers.

In the test, bacteria levels was determined basing on colony-forming units (CFU), a unit in microbiology used to estimate the number of viable bacteria or fungal cells in a sample. It turned out the average treadmill, exercise bike Cheap Nike Air Vapormax , and free weights are all teeming with germs - more than one million CFU.

The researchers found that the average exercise bike is 39 times dirtier than a cafeteria tray. The bacteria on treadmills is 74 times more than a public bathroom faucet. The worst is the free weights, with 382 times more bacteria than a public toilet seat.

“Everybody gets sweaty at the fitness center, and anything people have touched can have germ, I can anticipate that,” Diana Ng, a gym member Cheap Nike Air Presto Womens , told Xinhua on Tuesday.

“But I never thought it is as dirty as a public toilet seat. I bring my own towel, Yoga pad and other personal staff, I also wipe the equipment before I exercise every time, which I believe will reduce the chances to bring bacteria home.”

Maria Hernandez, a working staff at a chain fitness center in Los Angelese, told Xinhua that “We do provide the hands sanitizer and wipes here Cheap Nike Air Presto White , some people use that but some people don’t. Any place with people might have bacteria and fugues, you cannot stop going somewhere just because there are bacteria. Most people bring their own towels and take a shower before leaving, I think that’s enough for cleaning.”

James Collyer, director of Modern Dermatology in Seattle, was quoted by FOX news as saying that people should avoid using public hot tubs in gym since the hot tubs has a high risk of contracting very common infection called “hot tub folliculitis.”

Moreover, never go barefoot in the locker room Cheap Nike Air Presto Ultra Flyknit , as it’s a great way to transmit fungus, bacteria and viruses, he suggested.

SpaceX chief Elon Musk’s elaborate plan for a mega-rocket to carry astronauts to Mars may have some down-to-Earth applications.

At a conference in Australia on Friday, Musk said if you build a ship capable of going to the moon and Mars Cheap Nike Air Presto SE Woven , why not use it for high-speed transport here at home. He proposes using his still-in-the-design phase rocket for launching passengers from New York to Shanghai in 39 minutes flat.

Los Angeles to New York, or Los Angeles to Honolulu in 25 minutes. London to Dubai in 29 minutes.

“Most of what people consider to be long-distance trips would be completed in less than half an hour,” Musk said to applause and cheers at the International Astronautical Congress in Adelaide.

A seat should cost about the same as a full-fare economy plane ticket, he noted later via Instagram.

Friday’s address was a follow-up to one he gave to the group last September in Mexico Cheap Nike Air Presto Mid Utility , where he unveiled his grand scheme for colonizing Mars. He described a slightly scaled-down 348-foot-tall (106-meter-tall) rocket and announced that the private space company aims to launch two cargo missions to Mars in 2022.

“That’s not a typo,” he said, pausing, as charts appeared on a large screen. “Although it is aspirational.”

Two more cargo missions would follow in 2024 to provide more construction materials, along with two crewed flights. The window for launching to Mars occurs every two years.

For the approximately six-month, one-way trips to Mars Cheap Nike Air Presto Mens , the SpaceX ships would have 40 cabins, ideally with two to three people per
