It takes me about 45 minutes to walk around my school, i mapped the distance on google maps and the distance is 2.9 miles and a small portion of the walk is uphill. Right now i weight about 190 i read online that you burn about 100 calories per mile but i think it changes dependent on your weight. I feel pretty proud of myself because the past couple of days i have been doing it twice a day. my legs hurt really bad and Im hoping they will stop being sore soon but it would be nice to know that i am really burning 600 calories a day just walking alone.

    I use a gps tracker app on my runs & that tells me my time, distance & speed. If you have a smartphone I suggest getting an app for it, lots are free!
    If you go the same route as the Google map you are doing close to 15 min miles which is equal to 4mph. Look up "walking, 4.0mph" under cardiovascular exercises & add it to your diary. That will give you a good estimate for calories burned.
