Walking is one of the simplest, and cheapest physical activities to do, and it's 360-degree healthy.

But how many people were burned by walking.

According to Timothy Burnett, a kinesiology teacher, at Oregon State University Cascades, walking burns an average of 100 calories per 1.6 kilometers, regardless of speed.  In fact, the faster we walk, the less time it takes to burn the same calories.

This means that if we travel 1.6 kilometers in 12 minutes, we will burn 8.3 calories per minute. while if we take 20 minutes, we will burn 5 calories per minute.  But once you cover the entire trip, the total calories burned will be the same.
