BEHIND YOUR NUMBER

A little understanding
goes a long way.

Does running burn more per mile?

Yes, roughly twice as many extra calories. Over the same distance, walking burns about 0.5 kcal per kg per km above resting, and running about 1 kcal.

What are gross and net calories?

Gross includes what you would burn anyway at rest. Net is only the extra from the exercise, which is the fairer number for comparing activities.

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.
