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.
One mile equals approx 2,000 to 2,500 pedometer steps. Therefore 10,000 steps is between 4 to 5 miles distance. If you walk reasonably fast, 10,000 steps is about 1 hour of activity. If you walk slowly, 10,000 pedometer steps will take you 2 hours. Therefore, it will be easier to achieve your goal if you increase your pace. An added benefit to a 10,000 step goal is that you will burn approximately 100 calories per mile.
