How many calories would you burn from a half an hours brisk walk??

Question

Does anyone know roughly how many calories would you burn from half an hour of brisk walking in the park??
Is their any good ways of measuring this?

Im 5"4 and average weight

And its Calorie(a normal Calorie!) lol!

Answer 1

There are no good ways of measuring this directly. You have to estimate it. A 150 pound person burns 100 calories for every mile they walk. A 100 pound person burns about 66 calories while a 300 person burns 200 calories per mile. What makes the estimate interesting is that the average person burns about 100 calories per hour watching television or reading.

So assuming you weight 150 pounds and you went two miles, you would burn 200 calories (2 * 100) with the walk less the 50 calories you would have burned doing something else. Total additional calories burned would be 150.

If your idea of a brisk walk is 3 miles per hour and you weigh 300 pounds, then you would burn 1.5 miles times 100 calories per mile * 300 pounds/150 pounds for 300 calories less the 50 calories you would have burned. Total calories burned would be about 250.

This is where science sometimes turns into religion. I'm sorry, there is no PERFECT way to determine how many calories are burned by each individual during a half hour brisk walk... Why?

1) Define brisk - some people wave their arms, others have weights. Brisk usually implies that a person will be rushing and breathing energetically. However, a 600 pound person would call just walking a "brisk walk" because this person is carrying around almost 500 pounds of extra weight. A thin person would consider a brisk walk about 5 mph with wieghts on their ankles and power pumping their arms.

2) Calories - depending upon what muscle groups you use during this brisk walk determines how much fuel is needed. The 600lb will be working more muscle groups smply because the whole body must contend with 500 lbs of extra weight. The thin person's muscles are toned and have efficiency - less fuel needed to keep the 100 lb person in motion.

3) Extra benefit from walking: More oxygen to your body - helping higher brain functions and muscle actualization. Increase in endorphin production - a happier you. Can make a happier you happier if you do this brisk walk in a place that makes you happy - like a park or a mall or downtown. If the 600 lb person would just walk - no briskiness necessary, that person will build muscles which will burn even more calories and allow the soon to be lighter person to walk even more brisky.

4) Researched the calorie count in a few places and found an interesting place... You must add certain things (like weight) and a calorie counter will calculate the average calories burned for the specific activity. Hmmm I'm bookmarking that one. =J

Answer 3

Right...
when you say calorie with small c then it is 1/1000 of Calorie with large C which is actually a Kilocalorie. kc or C is the common one talked about.

you'd at a rough guess burn about 7-10 C per 5-6 min of walk if you have average weight.

If you are grossly overweight or very muscular, then you'll burn more
