How many calories you burn walking really depends on how fast you walk.
For example, a 150 pound person can burn:
- 204 calories per hour walking the dog (however if your dogs are like mine and pull you all over the place you'll burn a lot more!)
- 259 calories per hour walking at a pace of 3.5 mph.
- 408 calories per hour walking uphill at a pace of 3.5 mph.
- 429 calories per hour walking at a pace of 4.5 mph.
- 544 calories per hour walking up stairs.

RealAge answered:How many calories you torch on a walk depends on how much you weigh and how fast you walk. There's some sweet revenge in that: The heavier you are, the more calories you'll burn per hour. And, of course, the faster you walk, the faster you burn calories.
Want to nix a pound just by walking? Burn 3,500 calories and you're there. So if you weigh 150 pounds and walk at a four mph pace for an hour a day, a pound could be gone in just over 10 days -- without dieting!
