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.
It is important, however, to get up off our seats and walk at least 10,000 steps every day to stay healthy. This is considered approximately 5 miles. You can also walk to tone your legs and improve the way you look and feel about yourself. Walking is a low-impact exercise that everyone can benefit from. There are also some creative walking techniques you can do to make your walking workout more interesting and effective.
