Does anyone know to track calories when just walking up flights of stairs?

    Under the database of exercises look for Waking Stairs and input the amount of time spent walking them.

    this is a tough one - I have the fitbit so that makes it easy, but anything else feels like an estimate...

    time yourself and then type it in on the exercise bit, I was shocked that stairs burned more cals than walking or running

    Oh they definitely do! Step Aerobics is an amazing calorie burn + tush toner.
