How We Calculate Calories Burned for Brisk Walking in Glendale
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Glendale:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor
= 5 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.00
The MET value of 5 for brisk walking is based on the Compendium of Physical Activities: where the Compendium has a matching row Calorique uses it, and for activities without a dedicated row (for example branded or mixed workouts) the value is Calorique's closest-row planning estimate. The climate factor of 1.00 is Calorique's planning adjustment for Glendale's average temperature of 71°F. Use it to compare scenarios, then rely on consistent tracking and body-weight trends for personal calibration.
Brisk walking at 4 mph significantly increases calorie expenditure compared to a casual stroll. At this pace, you should feel slightly breathless but still able to hold a conversation. Brisk walking is classified as moderate-intensity exercise by the American Heart Association and counts toward the recommended 150 minutes per week of cardiovascular activity. It is gentler on joints than running while still delivering substantial fitness benefits.
