| May 10, 2020 at 9:27 | comment | added | Manu Bajpai | Please tell me on what basis you have taken 0.17 calorie per stair-step? Kindly let me know where I'm wrong in my following calculations--- Energy loss per kg per meter of height = 9.8 Joule /kg.m 1 step = 15 cm = 0.15 m So, energy loss per kg per stair-step = 9.8×0.15 = 1.47 Joule/kg.step where 1 Joule = 1/4.18 calorie Means, energy loss per kg per stair-step = 0.35 calorie/kg.step If two neighbouring floors are 16 stair-steps apart, then the energy loss per floor per kg = 0.35×16 calorie/kg.floor Now the final one, a person weighing 65 kg climbing 8 floors will lose 0.35 × 16 × 65 × 8 = 2912 | |

And climbing stairs might help but if you are serious you need to increase your anaerobic activities like running, and other forma of cardio. | |
| May 26, 2015 at 12:15 | comment | added | user8119 | @AmanArora: I assume you calculated the energy it would take like we all learned in physics class. The human body is pretty inefficient at moving stuff, though, so it's probably many times as much due to swaying side to side, stabilizing, swinging arms etc. | |
