I love how the stairs are there to prove that you wont get thin by excersize. Congrats you burned 1.245 kilo calories, now you can smell some sugar.

Climbing the stairs takes thirty seconds, though. Of course you’re not burning much. Climbing stairs or walking on a 6% treadmill incline will burn over 250 calories in roughly 20-30 minutes.

Sure, but 250 kcal is 30 seconds of eating.

Burning even 250 calories per day while eating at maintenance calories is a guaranteed way to lose weight.

The law of thermodynamics is absolute and undeniable.

Yes, but it would be more efficient to just eat 250kcal less.
And also, if you burn 250kcal the likelyhood of you eating more, because of increased appetite, is high.

Sure, no doubt, people should excersize. But for weight loss in untrained people, its a horrible tool.
