Does walking in the sand burn more calories than walking on pavement? I can't find a way to calculate this. Can anyone help me?

    The best I can tell based on other websites is you can add 20% to the normal walking calculation. Can't find anything that calculates it otherwise. Sorry.

    20% sounds right to me, but I can't see anywhere to get a good fix on that....it definitely feels that much tougher lol
