Calories Burned Per Mile Walking Calculator
Here’s a detailed table that shows calories burned per mile while walking, considering various walking paces, body weights, and additional factors such as the terrain. This data can help estimate calorie burn across different types of walking conditions and body weights.
Walking Pace | Body Weight (kg) | Calories Burned per Mile (Flat Surface) | Calories Burned per Mile (Incline) | Terrain Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Leisurely (2.0 – 2.5 mph) | 50 | 40 | 50 | Flat / Sidewalk |
70 | 55 | 70 | Flat / Sidewalk | |
90 | 70 | 90 | Flat / Sidewalk | |
Slow (3.0 mph) | 50 | 50 | 65 | Flat / Park Trail |
70 | 70 | 85 | Flat / Park Trail | |
90 | 90 | 110 | Flat / Park Trail | |
Moderate (3.5 mph) | 50 | 60 | 75 | Incline / Light Hiking |
70 | 85 | 100 | Incline / Light Hiking | |
90 | 105 | 125 | Incline / Light Hiking | |
Brisk (4.0 mph) | 50 | 70 | 85 | Incline / Rough Trail |
70 | 100 | 120 | Incline / Rough Trail | |
90 | 130 | 155 | Incline / Rough Trail | |
Fast / Power Walking (4.5 – 5.0 mph) | 50 | 80 | 100 | Uphill / Rough Trail |
70 | 110 | 140 | Uphill / Rough Trail | |
90 | 140 | 170 | Uphill / Rough Trail |
Key Points
- Walking Pace: Faster paces, like brisk walking and power walking, result in more calories burned per mile.
- Body Weight: Higher body weight leads to more calories burned, as more energy is required for movement.
- Terrain Type: Walking on an incline or rough terrain, such as an uphill trail, increases calorie burn compared to flat surfaces.
- Incline Factor: Walking uphill or on rough terrain can increase calorie burn by 15-30% compared to flat surfaces.
General Guide
- Leisurely Walking: Typically a relaxed pace, ideal for short strolls or recovery days.
- Slow Walking: Regular, easy-paced walking often suitable for flat surfaces.
- Moderate Walking: Comfortable, steady pace for longer distances or light hiking trails.
- Brisk Walking: Faster pace for fitness walks, burns more calories and provides cardiovascular benefits.
- Power Walking: Fast walking ideal for intense workouts, covering challenging terrain or steeper inclines for maximum calorie burn.
