    I climb stairs at least 6 times throughout a normal day. Personally, I don't log it as exercise, I just consider it part of my normal daily activity.

    Unless your sair climbing is at least 10 minutes in length and you're really scooting up them, I wouldn't count them as exercise, just a nice little bonus.

    As stated before, unless it's for prolonged amounts of time, 10 mins or so, I wouldn't log it, just consider it a bonus.
