I just found this bit about getting fit by doing the stairs and thought I should share it with everyone. So… Enjoy.
Step it up
Health Canada encourages Canadians to TAKE THE STAIRS. Whether you work or live in a building with stairs, ditch the elevator and/or escalator and climb your way to a fitter you. An average 160-pound person can burn about 50 calories climbing up stairs for four minutes. If that person continues to take the stairs for the same length of time five days a week, by the end of the year he or she burns about 12,700 calories (or about four pounds of fat). If there are too many stairs to climb in order to reach your destination, start by climbing up one or two flights before hopping on the elevator. Health Canada’s Stairway to Health online calculator offers a fun way to see how even little efforts pay off in a big way over time.
(I didn’t write it by the way, I just stole it from somewhere else. )
