Frequently asked questions
- How many calories does walking burn?
- Brisk walking burns roughly 4–5 calories per minute for an average adult, or about 250–300 calories per hour, depending on body weight and pace.
- How is calories burned calculated?
- This uses MET values — a measure of an activity’s intensity relative to rest — multiplied by your body weight and the time spent.
- Is exercise or diet better for weight loss?
- Both help, but diet has the bigger effect for most people because it’s easy to out-eat a workout. Exercise is excellent for health and preserving muscle in a deficit.
