Is it possible to burn 500 calories walking on a treadmill for 2 hours each day?!
Question: Im 16 and weigh 261 pounds. Im getting a treadmill next month. If I spend an hour on the treadmill for an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening, could I burn 500 calories? Also what would be a good brick walk? Is 2.5 MPH brisk walking? Sorry I dont know lol
I read on this site that if you have 2.5 MPH you can burn 330 calories in an hour. Is this correct?

3-4 mph is "brisk" walking. But 2.5 is fine for someone just starting. The faster and longer you walk, the more cals you'll burn.
Here is link to exercise and calories.
Good luck.
3.5 is a brisk walk. Some people can even walk at 4-4.5, but at that point i have to start to jog. But for your weight you would definitly burn 500 calories walking briskly for 2 hours a day.
ya but you see its not the amount of calories you burn when it comes to walking.what you need to do is get your heart rate up..i can walk for hours and hours..and for all i know my body can be use to it..and wont burn as much fat and you'd think it would.what you need to do is do somethoing that will get your heart rate at its peak..like running,swimming,jogging bicycling etc.why walk for 2 hours and be in hope of burning 500 calories when you can eat correctly,and work out for 30-45 min a day and burn 300 calories or more by doing some excercises to get your heart rate up
if you up the incline, you will burn more calories than if you don't up the incline, you should gradually increase your speed up tp 3 miles per hour and yes, you can burn that and more in an hour and a half
If you walk for 1 hour at 2.5 MPH you burn 142 calories. 2.5-3MPH would probably be consder a brisk walk for your age.
According to the following calculator (Brisk walk with a dog) you will burn 1033 calories. I have no idea how the dog figures into the caloric burn (Are we talking German Sheppard or Daschund?).
You may want to look into high-intensity sessions, as you get adjusted to doing cardio, after a couple of months. Check out the second link.
The calculator also computes that you'll burn 250 calories if you kiss someone for two hours. Could be another option...
