Whats in a step..

62 of the to be precise.

For some odd reason that's the number of steps from the base of the stairwell at work, upto the 5th floor where I'm at.

62 steps to raise a heart rate to burn calories
how many calories would I burn?
Enough for a few M&Ms
The heart stays pumping good for a few minutes even after reaching the top. How much added benefit from that period of time.

just some odd thoughts about walking up stairs

At the hospital we're in right now, the stairs are labeled so you know how many calories you've burned. .15/step, FYI!

Good to know!
