calories burned climbing one flight
According to The University of New Mexicoâs Health Sciences Center research you burn 15 calories per 3 flights of stairs (average flight of stairs being 12 steps). That means for every stair you climb you burn 0.42 calories on average (based on 150 [68 kg] to 160 [72.5 kg] pound person. The more you weight the more calories you burn). As a comparison, walking only burns 0.2 calories per step, which means you need to make twice as many steps to burn the same amount of calories.
