Dose anyone know how many calories you burn from climbing a fight of stairs?  I decided to start taking the stair at work and I am on the 6th floor so i would like to track it.  I feel like 6th floors a day should count for something!!

I have no idea what it counts for, but I am sure it counts for something.  What I would do is log how long you take to get up the stairs and how out of breath you are now.  Then check in a month, 3 months, 6 months and a year.  You will amaized. john

According to FitDay, 10 minutes of stair climbing or ladder climbing burns 93 calories.  Hope this helps.
