Cool Things To Wite On A Cd

walking speed and calories burned


Here's a simple formula you can use to calculate the number of calories you burn, depending on your weight and how fast you walk.

5.0 km / h (1 km in 12 minutes) burns .027 Cal / lb / min
5.8 km / h (1 km in 10 minutes) burns .033 calories / pound / minute
6.6 km / h (1 km in 09 minutes) burns .042 calories / pound / minute
7.5 km / h (1 km in 08 minutes) burns .047 calories / pound / minute

Here's an example: if you weigh 200 lbs (91 kg) and as you walk at a speed of 5 km / h (1 km in 12 minutes ) for 60 minutes, you multiply 200 by .027, and then you multiply that result (5.4) by 60. You get a total of 324 calories. (To convert pounds kilos, one kilo equals 2.2 lbs,)

Now you say that 324 calories is not much for the efforts you have deployed, but The good news is ... you have increased your basal metabolism, and therefore you will continue to burn more calories during the hours after your walk!

Also, consider walking a little faster. Here are the calories burned by the same person of 200 lbs (91 kg), but at different walking speeds:

5.0 km / h for 60 min = 324 calories
5.8 km / h during 60 min = 396 calories
6.6 km / h during 60 min = 396 calories
7.5 km / h during 60 min = 396 calories
