Is this one true?????

[SeeDisney]

I recall reading this somewhere that for every 20 steps of walking you do and it burns 1 calorie??

Is this true or is it something else??

Ok, I was interested by this question. So, I went looking. And found this page, if you want to link to it, and it tells you what you burn for different kinds of walking!

Hope it answers your question!

Calories burned while walking

Sorry I could not find the exact answer you seek.

It sounds like something that may have been taken from the 10,000 steps program where the goal is to get people moving.

The basic equation of weight loss is calories in must be less than calories out in order to lose.

But, if you are more fit than soneone else you burn those calories a bit differently so my answer would be:

I would say that "it depends."

If you increase the activity level and do not increase the eating, then I'd say it would be a good guess figure. The key is to increase activity level and not trade it as in one activity for another. For example I walked today so I can nap for the remainder of the day when that is not your normal routine.

Your weight, the speed in which you are walking and if you are walking on flat ground or up a hill type of thing all would need to be considered. There are a ton of websites out there that can help you break it down for you.
