Better Than the Elevator. The website HealthStatus notes a person who weighs 160 pounds burns about nine calories during a minute of walking up a set of stairs. During the same activity, a 210-pound person burns about 12 calories. If climbing a flight of stairs takes you about 30 seconds, expect to burn half the above calories. While this calorie burn might seem low, standing in the elevator for a minute burns about one and two calories, respectively, for the two people.
Climbing stairs is a classic âshort burstâ exercise and ideal for the time-poor. The biggest variable in stair climbing is your weight. The heavier you are, the more calories you burn. Other variables affecting calorie burn while stair climbing include the angle of the stairs, your sex, climbing speed, age and general fitness. You burn more calories climbing stairs in high heels. Itâs a myth that climbing stairs two at a time burns more calories. More energy is expended over time by taking things slowly. The 19th century is regarded by many as the golden era of stair construction.
