One of the benefits of keeping fit is weight maintenance, usually the prerequisite of looking n feeling goooooood :) so lets check out the calories...


How many calories would you burn walking, jogging or running?
Here is a useful reference table. Just note that these figures are for a 150 pound / 70 kilograms athlete but, because the amount of calories burned depends on the athlete's weight, these numbers change according to different individuals. The more one weighs, the more calories are burned.

To find the number of calories you would burn in any of these listed physical activities, divide your weight by 150 and multiply that result by the number of calories indicated in the table. For example, to find out how much a 100 pound athlete would burn in 1 hour of walking at 2 mph / 3.2 kmh, divide 100 by 150, then multiply the result (0.67) by 250. That equals approximately 165 calories (a 200 pound athlete would instead burn approximately 330 calories, which is 200 divided 150 and multiplied by 250)


Calories Burned while Walking, Jogging and Running.

Walking
2 mph 3.2 kmh 250 calories per hour
3 mph 4.8 kmh 300 calories per hour
4 mph 6.4 kmh 350 calories per hour

Jogging
5 mph 8.0 kmh 700 calories per hour
6 mph 9.7 kmh 800 calories per hour
7 mph 11.3 kmh 900 calories per hour

Running
8 mph 12.9 kmh 850 calories per hour
9 mph 14.5 kmh 1050 calories per hour
10 mph 16.1 kmh 1250 calories per hour


Off the chart - Hiking with 20 pound / 10 kilograms backpack at a 4 mph / 6.4 kmh speed would burn 450 calories per hour, while running in place for one hour would burn 650 calories.
