General Guidelines. Weight loss specialists often advise patients who want to walk to lose weight to aim to move for 30 minutes at least four or five times a week. Many people are able to cover about 2 miles (about 3 km) in this amount of time, and the calorie burn is significant, too. A 150-pound (68 kg) person walking between 3.5 to 4 miles (5.6 to 6.4 km) an hour can expect to burn about 300 calories.
Unsurprisingly, it's likely not a whole lot, especially since I live in Los Angeles, where nobody walks. As the New York Times explained in 2010, it is common for the health community to encourage people to walk 10,000 steps per day, which is about five miles. Researchers say it takes roughly 2,000 steps to reach a mile. But the average American only walks about half the recommended amount of 10,000 steps, according to Catrine Tudor-Locke, director of the Walking Behavior Laboratory at Pennington Biomedical Research Center.
