Climbing the Manitou Incline will burn around 700 calories when you complete the trek of the Manitou Incline.
It's a pretty tough trek or hike up the Manitou Incline and it's great exercise and will certainly help with weight loss because you'll be straining yourself and burning off calories.
The Manitou Incline trail consists of .88 miles of stairs and gains more than 2,000 feet of elevation so it's great for training or weight loss or just plain exercising.
I've went on the Manitou Incline once before and it was a hard thing to do but was so worth it and I lost some weight going on it.
I need to go on the Manitou Incline again someday when I get time off from work and I would recommend it to anyone especially if you need to lose weight or just want to get some outdoor time and exercise.
