How many calories burned walking 4 miles
Walking a particular distance at a specific speed can help you burn the unwanted calories and fat from your body and help you remain fit.
However every person can burn different amount of calories even if they walk for the same amount of time, speed or distance. Confused? The amount of calories burnt will depend on your weight, height, sex and body frame.
So if you and your friend (weighing 120 and 150 pounds respectively) walk together for 4 miles at the same speed and time then too your friend will burn more calories. This is due to a simple reason that he weighs more.
Before calculating how many calories burned walking 4 miles you will need to weigh yourself, determine how far you walked, time and speed at which you walked.
Calculate calories burned by walking 4 miles
An average person burns approximately 4 calories per minute walking; assuming a person of an average weight (that is 150-160 pounds for women and 170-180 pounds for men) walking at the pace of 3 miles per hour. If a heavier person for example a man weighing 190 pounds walks at the pace of 4 miles per hour then it can be estimated that he will burn 5 calories per minute than four. Or if a man weighing 160 calories walks at the pace of 2 miles per hour then it can be estimated that he will burn 3 calories per minute than four. So calculating calories burned walking 4 miles should not be difficult, but you may wonder how to keep a track of the speed and distance you cover.
Here are some ways to calculate the speed at which you walk. Different walking speeds will not have a major impact on the calories burnt, so you need not be too precise.
- Easy walk – If you take an easy walk around a park or your neighborhood not to forget with full conversation with your friend, as a thumb rule count 3 miles per hour or 5 kilometers per hour.
- Routine steps – If you track your steps using a pedometer for your daily routine jobs or putter around the house, as a thumb rule you can count 2 to 2.5 miles per hour that is 3.2 to 4 kilometers per hour.
- Moderate to brisk walking – If you are walking at a determined swift pace noticeably breathing then as a thumb rule count 4 miles per hour or 5 kilometers per hour.
- Walking fast – Most often all the fast walkers measure their speed with a hi-tech or sophisticated instrument. Generally a race walker can walk 5-6 miles or even faster per hour which is 8-10 kilometers per hour.
Many times walkers see little difference in the calories burned per mile by walking at speeds between 2 – 4 miles per hour.
For example a person weighing 160 pounds will burn different calories at different speeds.
2 miles per hour - 91 calories
2.5 miles per hour - 87 calories
3 miles per hour - 85 calories
4 miles per hour – 91 calories
4.5 miles per hour – 102 calories and
5 miles per hour – 116 calories |
