How many laps around Walmart?

Guessing that your steps are 24" apart roughly, that would be 681 steps to go around Wal-Mart once. If you really want those donuts, I will assume you are going to walk at a moderate 3.0mph pace. Doing that for one hour will burn about 250-275 calories (about the size of a donut), so you would walk 3 miles in that hour. That would be 15,840'. Taking the 681 steps to go around Wal-Mart, that would be about 23.26 laps. So....based on margin of error. My guess is 22-25 laps should do it...
What if you load up a cart and push that around the whole time? That should increase the calorie burn, right?
I think I should get bonus calories because I pushed one of those 2 kid seater carts loaded with my 35lb daughter. Struggling to get that cart around sharp corners and our lovely winter visitors was no easy task!
Due to the popularity of those "kid" carts and the motorized carts, I'm admittedly amazed that they haven't started offering 4-seater motorized carts yet...
That may be the sign that the apocalypse is upon us.0 -
Ok so I learned a valuable lesson... Our gym membership is a much cheaper way to exercise. Somehow our $2 donut burning expedition ended up being a $60 expedition. I also learned our 3 year old did not find it as fun to walk past the toy aisle a dozen plus times as we did.
I have failed the mission. I must admit I lost track of laps and I got bored so I started weaving in an out all of the aisles. I also realized that the elderly winter visitors do not care about me keeping my heart rate up and their mission was to sabotage our mission. I think they were covert spy's sent by the calorie force to make us fail.
However, I did burn 209 calories which is almost a full donut. Add that into calories spent pushing the evil cart from hell and laughing hysterically for a good ten minutes just plotting this mission and I'm going to savor every morsel of my maple donut.
Plus, going to the gym tonight just in case lol thank you all for your support and while I may have failed this one mission we will win the war!0 -

All I see there is a bunch of hoopla basically saying my math can't be proven wrong now...so it is in fact, the right answer. I knew I could do it...

Yes, bonus calories for you! Thanks for the update. I had no doubt that a thread that involved Wal-Mart and doughnuts would be entertaining, but this thread has far exceeded my expectations! Thanks for the afternoon laugh.0 -
You can't out-exercise a bad diet. You have to walk at a very brisk pace to get your heart pumping, and then you'd still have to walk for well over an hour at that pace to earn that doughnut.
Ok spoil sport you can take a 5 minute time out. A singular as in One Donut is not a bad diet. A 2000 calorie day of donuts is a bad diet. If there was a world without maple bars I wouldn't want to exist on it. Btw I've lost 70 lbs so far so

Is that the ones with the car in front? Those things are EVIL.
No! I will actually take those ones over this one. At least the weight in the front of the cart helps propel the motion this was far worse lol

The second I saw math my eyes glazed over, my brain went into hibernation and I think I may have cried a tear or two from the strain. I'm always jealous of people who can utilize math and not seize up in fear. Now if I need to write a 50 page research paper I can do it in a day. Math nope not my strength.

Heck! I don't know about your Mall but the ones around my (very large, interstate) neighborhood are charted out for "walking clubs". Assuming you enter through X door, you will be able to accurately calculate the distance you have walked (usually about a half mile around, though some are only a quarter mile and one is less than that!) But the outer doors open at - like six or seven a.m. even though the shops won't open until ten. This allows the walkers to trod their miles with the only others in the place also slogging their way around the interior. This also allows them a dry, reasonably warm place to do their walking when there is inclement weather.
Now, when it comes to Wally World... ehhh, don't think I could handle that. Though I do always park out in BFE and laugh at those poor fools sitting in the middle of the driving lane closer to the entrance, just waiting for someone to pull out so they can get the parking space close to the door. Meanwhile, I've already made it inside and have half my shopping done before they can get out of their cars!
I have a home gym which makes the whole process a lot simpler, but I also look for random opportunities to move a little more - like the aforementioned parking far, far away from the entrance to stores, which has the added benefit of never having to wonder where I parked my car. NOBODY wants to park that far out! HAH!0 -

I have a Target right near my work so when it's extremely hot or pretty darned cold outside, I walk up and down the aisles for my lunch hour. Sooooooooooo like 3 times a week?
I'm surprised they haven't offered me a job by now.
I had a friend who used to do this, until she was accused of trying to "case out" the store (ie. plan a theft attempt).0 -

Bonus calorie burn too for crashing your cart into the cart of the idiot who parks his/her cart on one side of the aisle while meticulously researching each and every can of crushed tomatoes on the other side of the aisle.
What is the burn if I put an adult person in the cart and run quickly up and down aisles and jumping onto the back rung of the cart and yelling "Weeeeeee!" ?
Asking for a friend.
Depends on if you're drunk or not.
And how long it takes security to catch you and throw you out.
What Walmart doesn't tell you is that you can't test each of the balls in the big netted container to see how far they bounce. I mean if they didn't want you bouncing the balls their should be sign.... Not saying I ever got kicked out of Walmart before for that or anything.....

Wal Mart has security? (I mean other than the 80 year old at the entrance who wants to put a sticker on everything I bring into the store because they think I might try to "return" it).
Every Walmart has plain clothes security. You've probably seen them repeatedly but never realized they were security. Walmart's with high theft like one I've been to in Miami can have a security guard for EACH ISLE.

LOL Walmart is the last place I would go to walk laps! You can barely even stroll in there without bumping shoulders with someone else!!
I would have about 5 minutes of patience...then melt down. 0 -
I was laughing so hard with this thread my dog thought I'd gone crazy.
We've tried to mall-walk before. We did 3 laps after hours, so not very many people to go around, and were still under a mile. We said screw it and went to our boys' school track and walked in the snow!0 -

No need for rudeness and name-calling, OP. The point is that you have to account for your calories.

Now see I wasn't rude. There's always one spoil sport in a conversation online and today it was you. Reminds me of a song my mom used to sing when we were being grumpy. Now stop bringing down a perfectly happy and fun post by being miserable.

Okay, presumably the toy aisle has two ends so you really only walked 6 laps and if you ate the donut had an excess of 175 calories so you'll gain weight. Either do not bring the kiddo or stop exercising at WALMART or stop eating donuts in the hopes you can walk enough to burn the calories. Your 209 calorie burn was probably from one of those hokey fitbit/garmin/donut measuring caloric burn devices. Throw it away. Done.

I have failed the mission. I must admit I lost track of laps and I got bored so I started weaving in an out all of the aisles.

However, I did burn 209 calories which is almost a full donut. Add that into calories spent pushing the evil cart from hell and laughing hysterically for a good ten minutes just plotting this mission and I'm going to savor every morsel of my maple donut.
Plus, going to the gym tonight just in case lol thank you all for your support and while I may have failed this one mission we will win the war!0 -

What's wrong with measuring calories burned with a Fitbit? The calorie burn is an estimate so I don't eat those calories. The estimate is better than nothing.
Seeing the numbers rise (or not if I am sitting around) helps me move more. Nothing wrong with that.0
