Convert Walked Steps To Calories

The steps to calories converter allows you to estimate how many calories you're burning. This is an excellent way to stay active and in good shape. To track your daily steps, you can use a pedometer.

For more information on the pedometer, see the link below:

Staying active is essential to humans' health which is why it is crucial to set movement goals for yourself. The 10000-step rule is rooted in a marketing campaign from 1960 by the Japanese company Yamasa Tokei. This company was producing pedometers and needed a good marketing slogan, resulting in the 10000-step rule that we still hear nowadays. The 10000-step rule remains controversial. Some believe 10000 steps is not enough, while others feel it's excessive.

After walking 10000 steps, the average adult will burn approximately 400 calories. However, your weight and height will determine how many calories you burn while walking. According to some studies, it takes more energy for a larger body to move than one with a smaller size. Some researchers disagree and think it has nothing to do with bodyweight.

The speed at which you move and the surface on which you run/walk are also essential factors determining how many calories you burn. It's simple physics: if you walk faster, you will likely burn more calories. You can burn more than 7 calories per minute if you walk uphill at 8 km/h, which amounts to many calories in the long run.

All of the above factors were mainly related to physics. Genetics is a factor that is often overlooked and not given enough attention. Sometimes the amount of calories you consume has little to do with physical laws; It all depends on how your body works physiologically. Different people have different metabolisms that can result in burning more calories or fewer calories while doing certain activities. Scientists continue to study this phenomenon and do not know how it affects different individuals. However, one thing to note is that even twins do not burn the same amount of calories doing the same activities.

The amount of calories burned while walking depends on the person. On average human burns 500 calories per 12500 steps.

Counting how many calories you burn while walking is easy with our calculator. On average human burns 400 calories for 10000 steps.
