Estimating 500 steps to calories burned by height

Let me establish some facts here before I engage in a little calculation.

walking & running Step per mile (SPM)

You can measure your actual number of steps walked or run in a mile. The simplest way is to wear a pedometer, fitness tracker or any of the fitness smartwatches like Apple Watch and walk or run a track of one mile. What the pedometer reads, is your steps per mile. Here is a detailed guide how to get your accurate steps per mile plus factors that affect how many steps you can actually walk or run in a mile (1600 meters).

But here are average values.

Short people with height under 5’5”, on average, walk about 2400 steps to cover a mile. You know, they got smaller step length and strides, so they would make many short steps to complete a mile.

If you’re not short and not too tall, you’re likely medium height (between 5’6″ to 5’11” ). Your stride length will be normal length. On average height athletes make close to 2200 steps to cover one-mile distance.

For a taller person with height over 6 feet, there is no doubt tall guys walk fewer steps since they got longer step length. Tall people have an average step length of 2.6 feet at normal walking speed (3 mph). Reports at University or Wyoming says people over 5.11 tall make about 2000 steps in one mile.

Expect a slight variation from these averages, if you decide to calculate your steps per mile on a pavement. If you are taking larger strides or running, it might not be surprising if your pedometer records fewer number of steps, probably between 1400 and 2000 steps per mile of brisk walking.

walking & running Calories burned per mile

Calories per miles can easily be calculated from your weight in pounds. If your weight is in kilograms, multiple the kg by 2.2 which will give your weight in pounds.

For a 30-minute, slow casual walking workout, at a pace of 2 mph, multiply your weight by 0.57;

For brisk or quick walk, at a pace of 3.5mph, American Council on Exercise recommends you multiply your weight by 0.5 to get calories burned in 1 mile of brisk walking.

• For a quick walk, Calories per miles CPM = Weight x 0.5
• For slow walk, Calories per miles CPM = Weight x 0.57

How many calories burned by a shorter person (Under 5 feet 5 inches) walking 500 steps?

A 60kg man of shorter stature less than 5’5” burns 17.8 calories in walking 500 steps . Let us quickly show his in a simple arithmetic.

Weight W = 60kg  (150 lb);

Calories burned in a slow walking over one mile CPM = 160 lb x 0.57 = 85.5 calories per mile

Walking SPM = 2400 steps in 1 mile (Stature : short person with short strides )

Calories burned to make a walking step CPS  = CPM /SPM = 85.5 /2400 = 0.035625 calories per step

Therefore, Calories burned in 500 steps walking = 500 x CPS  = 500 x = 0.035625 =17.8125 calories.

How many calories does walking 500 steps burn for a 5’6″ to 5’11” tall person?

An averagely tall (5’6″ to 5’11”) 150 pound -athlete can walk 500 steps  and burn roughly 19.462 calories. Let us try a simple 500 steps into calories conversion or calculation below.

Weight W = 60kg  (150 lb);

Calories burned per mile walking CPM = 150 lb x 0.57 = 85.5 calories per mile

Walking SPM = 2200 steps per mile (medium height and strides)

Calories burned in one step CPS  = CPM /SPM = 85.5 /2400 = 0.0388636 calories per step

Calories burned to walk 500 steps at normal pace = 500 x CPS  = 500 x 0.0388636 =  19.462 calories.

 

How many calories can a 6 feet tall guy burn walking 500 steps?

A 6 foot tall 150pound athlete walking 500 steps burns about 21.375 calories. Can we do a little simple Step to calorie calculation?

Weight W = 150 lb (60kg);

Calories burned per mile at slow pace, CPM = 150 lb x 0.57 = 85.5  calories per mile

Average Normal Walking steps per mile, SPM = 2000 steps per mile for a teller person with longer strides

Calories burned to walk one step CPS = CPM /SPM = 85.5 /2000 = 0.04275 calories per step

Calories burned in 500 steps = 500 x CPS = 500*0.04275 = 21.375 calories.

How many calories can a 6 feet tall guy burn running 500 steps?

Walking steps are shorter than running steps, so to complete a mile, you can run fewer steps than walk. So how many calories can a 6-foot person burn running 500 steps? At a normal running pace (say 8 minute-mile), a tall athlete can burn 25.34 calories running 500 steps.

Weight W = 150 pounds

CPM = W*0.5 = 150*0.5 = 75 calories per mile (the factor 0.5 is according to ACSM)

Running steps in a mile SPM = 1480 steps per mile

Calories per step running = CPM/SPM = 75/1480 = 0.5067568 calories per steps

Therefore, calorie burned in 500 steps running = 500×0.05067568

Total calories in 500 steps running = 25.34 calories

500 walking steps to calories burned calculation by weight

What number of calories is burned if you are overweight and walks 500 steps? Will the number of calories per 500 step be the same calories as for a guy of normal weight? Calories burned per steps would certainly not be same for both obese and skinny people.

People with excessive weight or high body fat percentage, burn more calories than people with normal body weight, to cover a mile. For example, A 300 pound guy would burn more calories doing same workout a 200 pound active person.

It is therefore meaningful that the overweight person would burn more calories walking 500 steps than a skinny bitch girl. Of the same height.

How many calories does 500 steps burn if you are 300 lb?

Heavy weight 5’5” tall 300-pound woman has an excess body fat. On average, the number of calories a 5’5” to 5’5” 300 lb woman burns after walking 500 steps, is 38.86 calories.

Here is the simple 500 steps to calories calculation

Weight W = 300 lb (136kg)

Calories burned in a mile CPM = W x 0.57 = 300*0.57 = 171 calories per mile

Av. Walking SPM for 5’5” person = 2200 steps per mile

Calories burned per step CPS = CPM/SPM = 171/2200 = 0.0777 calories per step

Therefore, a 136 kg(300lbs) lady walking 500 steps burns = 500x CPS = 500 x 0.0777= 38.86 calories

How many calories burned in 500 steps of a 6-foot-tall 180 pound (68kg) person?

A 6-foot-tall, 180-pound guy would burn roughly 25.65 calories walking 500 steps and 30.41 calories running 500 steps. Here is the simple 500 steps to calories calculation

Calories burned during 500 steps Walking

Weight W = 180 lb (68kg);

Calories burned walking a mile normal pace, CPM = Wx0.57 = 180 * 0.57 = 102.6 calories per mile

Walking SPM = 2000 steps per miles (stature: taller person with longer but fewer step lengths)

Calories burned per step walked CPS = CPM/SPM = 102.6/2000 = 0.0513 calories per step

The 180 lbs man will burn 500 x CPS walking 500 steps. This calorie burned per 500 steps equals = 500*0.0513 = 25.65 calories.

Calories burned during 500 steps Running

Weight W = 180 lb (68kg);

Calories burned running a mile CPM = Wx0.5 = 180 * 0.5 = 90 calories per mile

Running SPM =  1480 steps per miles (you make fewer steps running 6-minute a mile)

Calories burned per step running CPS = 90/1480 = 0.06081 calories per step

Number of calories burned running 500 steps equals = 500*0.06081 = 30.41 calories.

Calories burned CB  =  step X calories per step

• 1000 calories = 0.049875 X steps.
• Number of steps walking to burn 1kcal = 1000/0.049875 or 20,050 steps.

 

Running steps to burn 1000 calories

Number of walking steps to burn 500 calories = 500/0.0684 = 7310 steps.

How many running steps are needed to burn 500 calories?

Again, let us go estimate the  number of running steps that are required to burn 500 calories.

Let us maintain the same athletes’ s weight W = 240 lbs – 109kg

Calories per mile walking at normal pace = 240*0.5 = 120 calories per mile.

Average Steps per mile for a 6-foot person running = 1480 steps per mile.

Calories burned per steps =  120 /1480 = 0.081081

Number of running steps to burn 500 calories = 500/0.081081= 6167 steps
