| TWC Mission Statement The Tulsa Walking Club exists for the
sole purpose of promoting volkssporting.
This is accomplished through
our sanctioned events, by sharing information
about events that other clubs
are holding, by encouraging walkers through
our monthly meetings and our
monthly newsletter, by organizing routine
group walks at our YR's, and by
recognizing the achievement of
individual walkers.

Walking is a Healthy, Fun, and Enjoyable
Sport !
QUESTION : How
many calories does a person burn walking???
ANSWER :
According to "The New Wellness Encyclopedia"
from the editors of the University of California at
Berkeley Wellness Letter, the calories burned per minute
of activity per pound of body weight are -
+ walking at a
normal pace over fields and hill - 0.037
+ walking at a
normal pace over asphalt - 0.036
+ climbing hills
-0.055
+ running a 6
minute mile - 0.115
+running an 8
minute mile - 0.095
+ running an
11.5 minute mile - 0.061
So a 150 pound
person will burn 5.55 calories per minute (150 X 0.037)
walking at a normal pace over fields and hills.
