Estimate calories burned walking from weight, pace and duration.
The MET equation ties energy expenditure to body weight and intensity. Incline raises the MET value sharply, so walking uphill at a moderate pace can burn more than running on the flat. Calories per kilometre is roughly constant for walking regardless of speed, which is why distance rather than pace drives total walking expenditure.
Walking Calories
Calories per minute = MET × 3.5 × weight in kg ÷ 200
These figures are estimates based on population-average formulas and are intended for training and recreational planning only. They are not medical advice. Consult a qualified health professional before starting or changing an exercise programme, particularly if you have an existing medical condition.
