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.
Brisk Walking. Walking briskly (4mph speed) for 20 minutes burns about 117 calories for a 150 pound person. That may not seem like a lot, but if you did it 2 or 3 times a day, youâd burn a fair number of calories overall. Walking up Stairs. If you were to climb stairs for 15 minutes, youâd burn approximately 137 calories.
