Walking it off!
Dr. Tamanna NarangDietitian/Nutritionist • 12 Years Exp.M.Sc - Dietitics / Nutrition (Delhi University)
Awake, arise and walk:)
Exercise burns calories. In the case of walking the calories you burn depend much more on the distance you cover and your body weight than on your speed.
This table shows calories burned per mile of walking for people of varying weights:
Your weight approximate calories per mile (1.6 k)
54 kg 85
63 kg 95
72 kg 105
82 kg 115
90 kg 125
People who walk gain significantly less weight gain than those who didn't, the more walking, the less weight gain. And the benefit was greatest in the heaviest individuals.
