Frequently Asked Questions
How many calories does walking burn?
A 160-lb person burns approximately 200-300 calories per hour of moderate walking (3 mph). The exact amount depends on your weight, speed, incline, and fitness level.
What is a MET value?
MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) measures the energy cost of an activity. 1 MET equals resting metabolic rate. Walking at moderate pace is about 3.5 METs, meaning it burns 3.5 times more energy than sitting still.
Is walking good for weight loss?
Yes. Walking is one of the most accessible forms of exercise for weight loss. A brisk 30-minute walk daily can burn 150-250 calories, contributing to a weekly deficit of 1,000-1,750 calories.
