صعود السلالم يحرق السعرات

Stairs Burn Calories

Dr. Bryant from the American Council on Exercise said in an interview for an article for "The New York Times" that walking up stairs at a moderate intensity burns five calories a minute for a 120-pound person and nine for a 180-pound person. Climbing stairs on a stair treadmill for an hour burns about 660 calories for a 160-pound person, according to Mayo Clinic. For comparison, that's 350 more calories than you would burn walking in one hour, but you would burn about 200 more if you were running or jumping rope instead. Running upstairs instead of walking multiplies the caloric burn and the cardiovascular benefit, according to Dr. Bryant.
