How many calories are burned in 15 minutes of walking?

Answer 1

Well you wont burn as much as you think. My brother lifts weights for hours and only burns like 100 calories. However, if you build more muscle you burn more calories because muscle burns calories and increases your metabolism.

Answer 2

Depends on how strong you are, how hard you hit it, how old you are and a bunch of other things.

But most important is how hard you hit it.

If you're just pootling around, don't expect much.

If you ride hard to break a sweat, there's some.

But 15 minutes is a bit short either way.

Average numbers are 450-600 calories/hour, so you're looking at about 115-150 calories for 15 minutes. That's about 1/3 of a cupcake's worth of calories.

Answer 3

Approximately 4 calories are burned during a 15 minute walk. If you are diabetic, you need to test this figure by self monitoring your glucose readings accurately so that you know what the actual number of calories burned is. Each person varies in the amount of calories burned. The average is approximately 4 during a 15 minute walk.

Answer 4

Depends on how hard you go at it, how fit you are, what you weigh, what your proportion of muscles are etc. I'll usually do 700-900 cal/hour running, but someone smaller and/or less fit might struggle to hit 600. Someone bigger/fitter/younger than me might hit 1100-1300.

So for 15 minutes around 150-250 depending on personal conditions.

Answer 5

150 calories are burnt while running for 15 minutes.

Answer 6

Not enough to matter. Calorie usage is very much dependent on your heart rate, and 15 minutes of weight training won't boost your heart rate high enough or long enough to matter.

Answer 7

around 25
