| How many miles do you walk/brisk walk per hour? and (approximately) how much calories do you burn? |
Oh my! I am the first one to respond and probably the one with low energy. I do 1 mile in 27 minutes and sweat 144 Calories on a treadmil!!!

| According to my heart rate monitor which has my height/weight/age imputed, I burn 88 calories per mile. I'm 5.4 and 115 age 34 |
| I am 18:48: I am 5"3 and weight 167!!! So, I am no sure if the numbers I posted are good for an over-weight person like me! |
| I walk a little over 4 miles/hour. I usually walk 3 miles at about 163 calories (according to an online calculator). |

As a very general estimate, an average walk is about 20 minutes per mile. So if you go faster, you might be closer to 18 or 15. It's tough to get much below 13 or 14 and still be walking.
For an average size person, you'd probably estimate about 100 calories per mile, on a flat surface. Your speed doesnt really effect the amount of calories you burn per mile, because if you walk the same distance at a faster pace, the amount of time you exercise will be less. |
| I believe that if you walk the same distance in a faster pace, you'd burn a little bit more calories!! |
