How many calories burned in a day leisurely walking?
Your size is pretty much on average, and you should have a decent metabolism due to your age, assuming this is true you probably burn about 1,800 calories naturally a day, walking for 5.5 hours sure will help. I’m willing to bed you burned between 500-950 extra calories just from that, probably not as much as you were hoping for, but its still almost half a pound of fat you lost from it. Although people say walking burns as much as running (given you do the same distance), you still want to run. Not only is cardiovascular exercise good for your heart, it also raises your metabolism, so you burn more fat from doing nothing the rest of the day.
