A 120-lb. exerciser burns about 350 calories per hour on a mini stair stepper, according to the Weight/Fat Loss website. To burn the same amount while walking 4 mph, you would need to walk for additional 15 minutes.

Medium Frame

A 150-lb. person burns an additional 80 calories per hour, making their hourly total on the stair stepper 430 calories. You can burn about the same amount by mountain biking for 48 minutes.
