What is a Walking Calculator?

A Walking Calculator estimates physical activity metrics such as calories burned, distance walked, or time taken based on inputs like speed, weight, and time. It's a practical tool for health-conscious individuals, athletes, and walkers of all levels.

How to Use the Walking Calculator

Formula Used in Walking Calculator

The calorie burn is calculated using METs (Metabolic Equivalent of Task):

Calories Burned = MET × Weight (kg) × Time (hours)

Where:

  • MET is based on your walking speed
  • Weight is in kilograms
  • Time is in hours

Example Calculation

If a 70 kg person walks for 1 hour at 5 km/h (MET ~3.5):

Calories = 3.5 × 70 × 1 = 245 kcal
