Answer 2

Our body spends four calories per minute while walking​.

Explanation:

• A $140$-pound person burns about four calories per minute walking at a speed of three miles per hour. So, in about $30$ minutes she would burn roughly $112$ calories. But a $200$-pound person burns about  $5$ calories per thirty minute or about $159$ calories per thirty-minute interval.
• In fact, walking a mile (1.6 km) burns approximately 100 calories, depending on your sex and weight ( 11 ).
• One study measured the number of calories people of average fitness level burned after walking at a brisk pace of 3.2 miles (5 km) per hour or running at a pace of 6 mph for about a mile.
• For a 150-pound person to burn 100 calories walking, they would need to walk at a brisk pace (MET value of 4.3) for approximately 20 minutes.
• If you only have 20 minutes to sneak away from your desk for a short break, try taking a brisk walk to burn calories faster.
