3 types of walking & how many calories each burns

General walking

This is what you do when you’re out shopping or strolling through the park. It’s low intensity, but still good for you and a sensible entry point. Most lifestyle walkers move at an average of 2.5–3.5mph – that’s one mile every 17–24 min. To burn 1,500 calories a week you would need to walk around 10–20 miles.
On average, a woman weighing 10st will use 3 calories per min; a man of 12st 7lb will burn 5 calories per min.

Fitness walking

This could be on a treadmill or walking at a brisk pace outdoors. It’s great for moderate weight loss, improved health and energy. Fitness walkers move at 3.6–4.3mph, covering a mile in 14–17 min. This level of exercise works the abdominals, upper body muscles, bottom and hips.

On average, a woman weighing 10st will use 4.5 calories per min; a man of 12st 7lb will burn 6 calories per min
