How many calories are burned in a one hour walk at 3.5 miles per hour and 4.5 miles per hour?

Answer 1

How can you compute your calories burned? Let's try an example. Say you weigh 150 pounds and you are walking for one hour at a rate of 3.5 miles per hour. Multiply 150 pounds by .035 = 5.25 calories burned per minute. Therefore, you would burn 315 calories during your one hour walk (5.25 times 60 miuntes). However, if you walk at a rate of 4.5 miles per hour, you will burn 7.2 calories per minute and 432 calories per hour. But you will have walked further (4.5 miles) than you walked with the 3.5 mph pace and, therefore, will burn more calories.
