About Steps to Calories Conversion
Walking is one of the simplest and most effective forms of exercise. Tracking your steps and understanding how they translate to calories burned can help you manage your weight and improve your overall health.
How Steps Convert to Calories
The number of calories you burn from walking depends on several factors:
- Your weight: Heavier people burn more calories for the same distance walked
- Walking speed: Faster walking burns more calories per minute
- Terrain: Walking uphill or on uneven surfaces burns more calories
- Your fitness level: More fit individuals may burn slightly fewer calories for the same activity
Calculation Method
Our calculator uses the following formula to estimate calories burned:
- Calories = Steps × Step length (m) × Weight (kg) × 0.0005 × Intensity factor
- Step length is estimated based on height (average 0.79m or 2.6ft per step)
- Intensity factors: Slow=1.0, Moderate=1.3, Brisk=1.6, Very Brisk=2.0
Health Benefits of Walking
Regular walking provides numerous health benefits:
Cardiovascular Health
Walking strengthens your heart and improves circulation, reducing risk of heart disease and stroke.
Weight Management
10,000 steps per day can help maintain weight, while 12,000-15,000 may support weight loss.
