Enter your weight and the duration of your power walk into the calculator to estimate the number of calories burned.

Power Walk Calories Burned Formula

The formula to estimate the calories burned during a power walk is:

Calories Burned = (METs x 3.5 x weight in kg) / 200 * time in minutes

Variables:

  • METs is the Metabolic Equivalent of Task, which is 4.5 for power walking.
  • Weight is the body weight in kilograms (to convert pounds to kilograms, divide by 2.20462).
  • Time is the duration of the power walk in minutes.

To calculate the calories burned, convert your weight to kilograms, then multiply by the MET value for power walking, the constant 3.5, and the duration of your walk in minutes, then divide by 200.

What is Power Walking?

Power walking is a form of walking with a speed at the upper end of the natural range for walking gait, typically 4.5 to 5.5 mph. It is a low-impact exercise that aims to increase cardiovascular fitness and calorie burn, utilizing more muscle groups than regular walking.

How to Calculate Calories Burned Power Walking?

Follow these steps to calculate the calories burned during a power walk:

  1. Enter your weight in pounds.
  2. Enter the duration of your power walk in minutes.
  3. Use the formula provided above to calculate the calories burned.
  4. Click “Calculate” to get the result.
  5. Use the “Reset” button to clear all fields and perform a new calculation.

Example Problem:

Let’s say you weigh 150 pounds and you power walked for 30 minutes. Here’s how you would calculate the calories burned:

First, convert your weight to kilograms: 150 lbs / 2.20462 = 68 kg

Then, use the formula: (4.5 METs x 3.5 x 68 kg) / 200 x 30 minutes = 321 calories burned
