How many calories does Brisk Walking burn?
Walking at a faster pace (about 5.5-6 km/h) burns more energy than an ordinary stroll.
Brisk walking is the most common way to raise intensity without switching to running, and step frequency matters more than stride length. By the talk test, if a sentence is still possible but singing is not, the pace sits in this range.
