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.
Depending on your weight and intensity level, you can burn up to 981 calories per hour using a stair climber. You can also convert how many stairs you've climbed into miles to ensure you're meeting the daily goals you've set for yourself and to track your performance. Step 1. Count how many steps you've climbed or look at the number of steps that have been recorded on your stair climber machine.
