How Many Calories Do 10,000 Steps Burn?
The calories burned per step depend on your body weight, walking speed, and terrain. A general estimate: approximately 0.04–0.06 calories per step for an average-weight adult, meaning 10,000 steps burns roughly 400–600 calories. Heavier individuals burn more; lighter individuals burn less. Walking speed also affects calorie burn — brisker walking at the same step count burns more because it involves more cardiovascular effort per minute.
