Fantastic Friday... Walking in Place Burns How Many Calories?

Overview

The number of calories you burn by walking in place is calculated based on your weight and the amount of time you walk. Walking in place on an incline will burn more calories than walking on flat surface.

Formula

The formula for calculating calories burned during any exercise is (METs x 3.5 x weight in kg) ÷ 200) x duration in minutes. MET, which means metabolic equivalent, is a number that represents how much energy you use while exercising, according to the American Heart Association. To determine your weight in kilograms, divide your weight in pounds by 2.2. A 150 lb. person weighs 68 kg.
