And before I get yelled at for having such a liberal definition of solute (which I admit, is a bit foolish!), knowing this number is important when your actual solute (not water) changes the volume of the solution and especially in a nonlinear fashion. 1  permalink. 2  embed. 3  save. give gold.
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.
Walking this many steps can result in burning up to 3,500 calories per week, which equates to one pound.The best way to reach the 10,000 steps per day goal is to use a pedometer or similar device that automatically counts steps. This will ensure that every step taken counts.
