I was at Nanyang Polytechnic yesterday evening attending a talk. Adjacent to the lecture theatre, there is this flight of stairs which caught my eyes; an ordinary flight of stairs there has been there for years but it was the colours that caught my attention. A closer look and you’ll see the story:
- Burn calories
- Take the stairs
- About 5 calorie burnt per floor
- Based on 0.17kcal per step, their 30 steps work out to be 5.1kcal
Check out what they did to the stairs from the bottom….
to the top.
So, next time climb the stairs instead of taking the elevator.
