Not Medical Advice

Nothing on TimeToWalk.net constitutes medical advice. The content on this website — including walking time estimates, calorie burn estimates, step count conversions, and any accompanying editorial content — is intended for general informational purposes only.

If you have a health condition, are recovering from illness or injury, are pregnant, or have any concerns about beginning or changing an exercise routine, please consult a qualified healthcare professional before acting on any information found on this website. Walking, while generally a low-risk activity, may not be suitable for everyone in all circumstances.

Calculator Results Are Estimates

All calculator outputs on TimeToWalk.net are estimates based on generalised formulas and population averages. Individual results will vary. Factors that affect actual outcomes include, but are not limited to:

• Stride length — varies by height, leg length, fitness, and gait
• Walking pace — individual pace varies with terrain, motivation, and physical condition
• Calorie burn — influenced by body composition, metabolism, fitness level, and other metabolic factors beyond weight alone
• Terrain and conditions — hills, wind, surface type, and temperature all affect energy expenditure and pace
• Health and fitness level — conditioning, age, and individual physiology affect all metrics

The MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values and stride-length formulas used in our calculators are based on established research, including data from the American College of Sports Medicine. However, these represent averages across study populations and should not be interpreted as precise individual measurements.

Steps Per Mile Calculations

Our steps-per-mile estimates are based on the relationship between height and stride length (stride length ≈ height × 0.413), derived from published kinesiology research. This formula provides a reasonable estimate for most adults of average build walking on flat ground at a moderate pace. Your actual steps per mile may differ depending on your individual gait, terrain, footwear, and pace.

Calorie Estimates

Calorie burn estimates are calculated using MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values and standard weight-based formulas. These estimates do not account for individual differences in metabolic rate, body composition, fitness efficiency, or variations in walking technique. They should be treated as general guidance rather than precise measurements. For accurate calorie tracking, consider using a wearable fitness device calibrated to your personal data.
