Stilts?

So a friend of mine sparked a memory in me the other day, and I dug my stilts out of my mom's building. (I realize it's ridiculous for someone that's 6' tall to have stilt in the first place, but I've never been quite normal anyway....lol). I was wondering today, how many calories would I burn walking on those? Would it be any more than just walking in general? I would think so, being as you're balancing yourself way more than just walking. However, I can't find anything online about it...any suggestions?

    Could you borrow a heart rate monitor and walk around in them for about 10 mins? Then you might could get a rough estimate on what your body is accomplishing while wearing them. I for one think it's awesome you can walk in them!
