That answer means 10 cal walking down 1 flight, which is 5 times this one. And both assume that we know how many steps and/or feet in a "flight", which is by no means standard!
Look at it this way... To lose one pound of weight, you must have a total NEGATIVE intake of 3600 calories. Stair-climbing does burn more calories than walking on a flat surface, but while burning calories doing this you are building muscles (heart, in your legs & buttocks, etc), which is good. Also, the exercise should be over at least a 20 minute period, several days a week primarily for your cardiac workout... But you've got to burn that 3600 calories in order to lose the weight, and do it so that you lose about 1/2 pound a week (women) or 1 pound a week for men. If the total intake of calories is greater than you expend, then your weight will go up correspondingly.
I would say that is false.
Not very many...Think about it, it is not very hard work, you lose 60 calories an hour just breathing, and that's a fact!
Depends on your calorie intake. You have to burn more calories than you consume to lose weight. 1 lb is approximately 3500 calories.
Swimming definitely you lose 6 calories in 1 minute, so if you swim for 1 hour, you burn about 360 calories.
really really far. one pound of body mass is usually equated to 3500 calories burned. depending on how fast you are jogging you usually only burn about 5 calories a minute. if you are running a 10 minute mile 3500 calories/5 calories per minute = 700minutes/10 minutes per mile = 70 miles good luck.
They lose 5647 calories an hour
the average person will burn 11 calories per minute but the higher and the faster you go you could burn up to 20 calories. if you are trying to lose some weight i would suggest doing jump rope for an hour a day and then you have already burned 660 calories. you be amazed with the results
It is said that taking at least 3 thirty minute naps does burn a substantial amount of calories, but otherwise, no.
It takes 3500 calories to lose a pound
1 pound equals 3,500 calories. You can burn around 0.1 calories per jump. 3,500 calories divided by 0.1 calories per jump is 35,000 jumps in 1 pound. That would take almost 3 hours to burn off (at 200 jumps per minute)
When you walk, even when going downhill or down the stairs, you are burning calories. Any calories you burn come from the glycogen stored in your body in the form of adipose (fat) tissue. So, even if you are not losing weight, you are doing what you can not to gain more. Walking up the stairs burns more calories than walking down, so avoid the elevator.
