How much calories we burn by walking

One of the best ways of exercising is walking. All you need is a pair of comfortable walking shoes as well as suitable clothes for the weather.  The sum total of calories burned during walking depends entirely on two things: terrain and speed. Terrain In a perfect weather condition, on average, a person weighing 150lb and of an average build will burn up to 136 calories an hour. However, the same person walking uphill in harsh weather conditions like in the snow will burn around 400 calories per hour. Speed On average, a walking stroll is usually not more than 2 mph. This way, you burn about 136 calories an hour. If the speed is increased to let's say 3.5 mph, your body will burn more calories at 238 calories. Walking more briskly, like jogging will help you burn over 544 calories an hour. In addition, backpacking can increase the number of calories your burn at a given speed.
