Practice proper walking technique by swinging your arms, tightening your stomach muscles and tucking your pelvis in. Keep your feet at about shoulder-width apart and look ahead of you about 15 to 20 feet. How long you need to walk to burn 500 calories depends on your body weight and your intensity level. According to the Physical Activity Calorie Counter on the American Council of Exercise website, a 180-pound person needs to walk at a moderate, 3 mile-per-hour pace for one hour and 50 minutes to burn nearly 500 calories.
The amount of calories burned also depends on your starting weight: the heavier you are, the more calories you will burn while exercising (thatâs good news!). For example, if you weigh 160 pounds and walk at a speed of 4.5 miles per hour, you will burn 500 calories after walking 5 miles. If you weigh 220 and walk at the same speed, you will need to walk just 3 miles to burn the same 500 calories. You can see from these calculations that as you lose weight, you will need to gradually increase the distance you are walking in order to keep losing pounds.
