Calculate calories burned during Nordic walking by body weight, duration, and intensity, with kcal and kcal per minute at each intensity.
Calories Burned Formula
The calculator uses body weight, workout time, and pace to calculate calories burned during Nordic walking.
Variables:
- C = calories burned
- W = body weight
- T = time in minutes
- F = Nordic walking activity factor
The basic calculator uses the moderate factor. Advanced mode lets you switch to easy or brisk/uphill walking.
| Pace | Factor for lb | Factor for kg |
|---|---|---|
| Easy | 0.041 | 0.091 |
| Moderate | 0.051 | 0.112 |
| Brisk / Uphill | 0.060 | 0.133 |
Nordic Walking Calories by Duration
The table below shows calories burned at the steady pace used in the basic calculator.
| Body Weight | 30 Minutes | 60 Minutes |
|---|---|---|
| 130 lb | 199 | 398 |
| 150 lb | 230 | 459 |
| 180 lb | 275 | 551 |
| 210 lb | 321 | 643 |
What is Nordic Walking?
Nordic walking is walking with poles that add upper-body work to each stride. The poles increase involvement from the arms, shoulders, back, and core, which can raise calorie burn compared with regular walking over the same amount of time.
How to Calculate Calories Burned Nordic Walking
- Enter your body weight and choose lb or kg.
- Enter the number of minutes you walked.
- Use Basic for a steady pace, or switch to Advanced to choose easy, moderate, or brisk/uphill intensity.
- Multiply body weight by minutes and the activity factor to get calories burned.
Example Calculation
A 160-lb person Nordic walking for 40 minutes at a moderate pace would calculate calories like this:
That workout burns 326 calories.
