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.
But even walking up stairs for just two minutes per day will burn about one pound per year â thatâs the same amount that most adults gain each year! Use the chart below to see your specific calorie burn based on your gender, weight, and the type of stair climbing.
