Health benefits of walkingIf we want to get out the bed in the morning, we will have to walk to our next location. Walking is an activity so easy to engage in that we can all do it without thinking, and it is associated with many health benefits:
Steps to calories burnedWalking doesn't require any equipment; it can be done almost anywhere, at any time of day. But how many calories do we burn while walking? The energy you burn while walking depends on many factors, including:
Steps to calories calculatorOur steps to calories calculator uses a formula that takes into account the factors mentioned in the previous paragraph. That's why we need the following information:
How many calories does 10000 steps burn?A lot of experts recommend 10,000 steps per day - let's find out how our steps to calories calculator works using this example!
Results: Calories per stepWe estimate that the average person (someone who weighs approx. 70 kg or 160 lb) burns 0.04 kcal per step. As mentioned before, the energy expenditure depends on your height, weight, and pace, so this value might be different for you. If you are interested in how many calories you burn per step, hit the How can you increase your number of daily steps?Implement the following tips to increase your number of daily steps (you will be surprised with the results!):

One pound of body fat equals 3500 calories, so depending on your weight and workout intensity, you could lose about one pound per week simply by completing an extra 10,000 steps each day.
Is 10000 steps a day enough to lose weight?Most people require a calorie deficit of about 500 calories per day to lose 1 pound a week. People looking to lose weight or maintain weight loss should get at least 150 to 200 minutes of exercise per week, and walking 10,000 steps per day can help to achieve those goals.
