A member asked:

5"1, 120 pounds, 20 year old female. how many calories would i burn by walking quickly up 10 flights of stairs? and how about down 10 flights?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Calories: Walking up and then down a flight of stairs burns about 5 calories for each flight with about 3 going up and 2 going down. Therefore a total of 60 going up and down.or 36 going up and 24 going down. This is a rough estimate,though.
