The standard rule of burning calories state that an individual whose body weight 180 pounds can burn 100 calories and a 120 pounds body weight person can burn 65 calories. A separate calorie calculator is available to measure the amount of calorie that can be burned per mile when entering the parameters like, body weight, walking distance and pace of the walking.
