The climate factor of 1.00 is Calorique's planning adjustment for San Antonio's average temperature of 69°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.
