I'm going to be quitting my gym membership soon (money issues) and wondered if running up and down 5 flights of stairs would be an adequate substitute for being on a treadmill/elliptical. How many calories do you think one rep would burn(going up and down a 5 story building)? I know there's not an exact science but an estimate would be awesome.
