Walk the stairs
Just four minutes of stair climbing a day can lead to a two kilogram weight loss in just a year, says Michelle Cederberg, a Canadian fitness and wellness consultant.
Here’s the math: An average 72kg person will burn about 210 kilojoules climbing up stairs for four minutes.
If that same person takes the stairs for the same length of time five days a week, by the end of the year they’ll burn about 53,000 calories, or about two kilograms of fat.
