Walking Calorie

1. Enter your walking speed, walking time, and weight.
2. Your "calories burned," "amount of fat burned," and "distance walked" will be displayed.

Walking is a phenomenon in which energy is consumed and calories are burned. This is one of the aerobic exercises that many people use to maintain health, lose weight, and burn fat. The amount of calories burned varies depending on your walking speed, weight, and exercise time.

Factors of calorie consumption

Walking speed (METs)

METs (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) represents the intensity of activity.

• The slower you walk, the less calories you burn, but the higher your fat burning rate. <.li>
• The faster you walk, the more calories you burn, but the lower your fat burning rate.

Weight

• The heavier you are, the more calories you burn even with the same exercise.

Walking time

• The longer you walk, the more calories you burn.

What is METs (Metabolic Equivalent of Task)?

METs is an index of activity intensity and is a unit based on energy expenditure at rest. 1 MET is equivalent to the amount of oxygen and calories consumed at rest (for example, while sitting).

The higher the intensity of exercise, the higher the METs value and the more calories burned.

Calculation formula for calories burned by walking

Calories burned (kcal) = METs x body weight (kg) x time (h)

• METs: A unit for expressing the intensity of activity.
• Body weight: Body weight.
• Time: Calculate exercise time in "hours"

Calculation formula for fat burned by walking

Amount of fat burned (g) = Calories burned x Fat burned ratio / 9
