Taking the stairs burns 10 calories a minute so the next time you're pondering taking the elevator, think twice.
And if you want to burn a few more calories, get up from your desk every hour or so and walk up a few flights in your office building if you can. Not only will you burn calories from the actual climb, but you'll also keep burning calories as your metabolism stays raised from this short bout of exercise.
Just 10 minutes of stair-climbing a day is 100 calories, which translates into almost a pound of fat loss a month / 12 pounds a year. That's nothing to laugh at!
