NCLEX Exam Prep. Created by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN), the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX - PN) is the exam required for all nursing students to pass in order to become a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) in the United States.
The Speed You Walk. Intensity is also a big factor in determining how many calories you'll burn during any given activity. According to that same Harvard Medical School calorie chart, the 155-pound person will burn 149 calories per 30 minutes walking at a 3.5-mph pace -- or roughly a 17-minute mile. If she speeds up, she'll burn more calories. Walking 1 mile at 4 mph -- which should take her 15 minutes -- she will burn 83.5 calories.
Then go out and walk the mile. If it takes you 20 minutes, that's 3 mph; 15 minutes is 4 mph; 13 minutes is 4Â½ mph, and 12 minutes is a highly athletic 5 mph. The brisker your pace, the more calories you will burn. But if all you can manage is a 20-minute mile, don't worry; walk regularly, and within 3 weeks, your pace and endurance will increase. Aim for 4 to 6 power walks a week.
