While walking may not be a better workout, it may be a better exercise choice for some. The National Walkers Health Study, found that the energy used for moderate walking compared to vigorous running has similar reductions for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and heart disease.
A distance of 10 kms should take around 1 hour 30 minutes. 1 km will take around 9 minutes, while 4 kms will take around 36 minutes.
As a general rule, the faster you go, the more calories you will burn exponentially since your body uses more energy to go faster. At a moderate speed per hour you will burn less calories than walking at a faster rate, e.g. a moderate to fast pace.
Several studies have found shown high-intensity training (HIIT) significantly reduces total abdominal fat, including visceral belly fat more effectively than lower-intensity exercise like walking.
10 kms should take about 86 minutes on average.
