BEHIND YOUR NUMBER

A little understanding
goes a long way.

What counts as brisk walking?

Brisk walking is at least about 5 km/h (3 mph), or around 100 steps a minute. You can still talk, but not sing.

How are calories estimated?

We use MET values for walking at your speed: about 3 METs at 4 km/h, 4.3 at 5.6 km/h and 5 at 6.4 km/h. Calories = METs × weight × hours.

Is this calculator for me?

It suits most healthy adults. Results are estimates. If you have a heart condition, are pregnant or are new to exercise, check with your GP before increasing your activity.
