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.
Stair climbing is officially classed as a âvigorous exerciseâ and burns more calories per minute than jogging. 2. Stair climbing requires 8-9 times more energy expenditure than sitting and burns about 7 times more calories than taking a lift. 3. You burn about 0.17 calories for every step you climb, so you burn roughly a calorie and a half for every 10 upward steps. 4. You also burn calories going down.
