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.
Originally Answered: How many calories are burned during walking up a flight of stairs? Great Question! In fact, I used to walk up and down stairs as an exercise when I did not have access to a gym. The average flight of stairs has 12 steps. One flight of stairs, three times per day= 15 calories burned. Two flights of stairs, three times per day= 30 calories burned. Three flights of stairs, three times per day= 45 calories burned
