Formula

The following formula can be used to calculate the total calories burned from walking:

\[ \text{Total Calories Burned} = \text{Steps} \times 0.04 \times \text{BMI Factor} \times \text{Age Factor} \times \text{Speed Factor} \]

What is Calories Burned from Walking?

Calculating the total amount of calories burned from walking may seem straightforward, but it can be more accurate by considering factors like age, weight, gender, and walking speed. The provided calculator considers these factors to give a more precise estimate of the calories burned.

Example Calculation

Let's say a 25-year-old male who weighs 70 kg and is 175 cm tall walks 10,000 steps at a speed of 3.5 mph. Using the formula:

Steps = 10,000

Age = 25 years

Gender = Male

Height = 175 cm

Weight = 70 kg

Speed = 3.5 mph

BMI = 70 / (1.75 * 1.75) = 22.86

Base Calories = 10,000 * 0.04 = 400

BMI Factor = 1 (since BMI is between 18.5 and 25)

Age Factor = 1.1 (since age is less than 30)

Speed Factor = 3.5 / 3.0 = 1.17

Total Calories Burned = 400 * 1 * 1.1 * 1.17 = 514.8 calories
