How many calories are burned when....
« on: August 27, 2007, 06:46:00 AM »
....you walk at a normal pace (3-5mph) per hour?

I have incorporated a bit of cardio into my routine but don't have a treadmill so it can't measure for me. Any ideas?

Use an online calculator, enter age, weight, distance, time and you will get an answer:

It is funny.  Could you imagine calculating calories for every mundane activity (brushing your teeth, taking out the garbrage, etc.).  There would be no time to work out.

Exactly - I wonder how many calories you'd burn working out how many calories you've burned.?  ;D
