I walked 22,974 steps today, that is 10.8 miles. How many calories did I burn?

I've had a lazy day on the beach today. Only done 7,100. My fitbit says I've burned 2,130 cals. So I guess you've burned somewhere about 6,000-7,000.

I'm 154lbs and 6' 1 1/4"

Can't be right!

Nah I don't think I burned that much pal, 6000-7000 calories is too much.

[dogbert444]

That's what I thought! I was too quick to do the math and got it wrong. Mind you, best part of 23K steps is quite a distance! My average, if I run the full length of the seafront here, is only 17K

That's how much I walk 5 days a week and I have 2 lazy days where I'll walk 4000/5000 steps.

You must be fit!! Well done!!

I enjoy walking, I just walk most places. I find it helps me to think, gather my thoughts and brightens my mood.

[dogbert444]

That's what I find. Walk from home to town every day. Run along the seafront 2-3 times a week. About 4 -5 miles.

Thanks for MHG! Not sure I deserved it. Getting my math wrong... LOL!

[Asker]

It's the effort that counts man.

Thanks pal.

[Stardust143]

No problem.

[Asker]

Thanks I burned an estimated 1912 calories just by walking. No wonder I'm a sexy stud muffin.

[Stardust143]

Good for you!

Depends on your metabolism.

[Asker]

I have a fast metabolism.
