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.
What is a good average walking speed for fitness walking? The answer depends on a few factors, such as your age, fitness level, leg length, terrain (flat or hilly) and gender (research has shown that men move faster than women). In general, it is between 3.0 â 3.5 miles per hour which means you can walk one mile in 17 to 20 minutes. At this brisk pace, many people will enjoy the aerobic benefits, such as strengthened cardiovascular system, lower blood pressure, less anxiety and improved overall physical fitness.
