can burn up to 300 to 500 calories in an hour, whereas running can burn that same amount in about half of the time,” Saltos explains. You’ll also burn more calories by walking for a longer period of time, versus say 10 minutes.Although the amount of calories each person will burn during any given day varies, there are still some ways you can increase the amount of energy you burn.
