I was unable to send direct email reply, so I'm posting to the
net:

I seem to recall Maggie Lettvin (of Maggie's Beautiful Machine--WGBH)
listing calorie counts for various everyday activities. I think
climbing stairs was given as 12 calories per minute, without any
distinction made between going up or down.  I do, however, happen to
recall that rocking in a rocking chair burns 100 calories per hour.
I have the list somewhere at home, if I can locate it I'll get back to
you.
