I work at lowes for some extra cash over the summer. i push carts and load stuff up. i just realized i probably walk about 10-12 miles a day at work. so if i am pushing carts and doing a pretty nice pace, how many calories am i burning in just one mile? keep in mind im walking but im pushing carts, how many do you think?, im just interested in knowing...
id say around 300-500
so im burning 300-500 calories all day or in just one mile you think?
it will be very hard to give you a guestimate on this b/c you are not doing a steady movement for a certain amount of time at a certain heart rate. They will be varying time to time. You may can burn 500 cals in a walking session on a treadmill, but that doesnt mean that you will be burning the same amount in your instance.
also depends on how heavy the carts are... you really can't give a good estimate on this, I wouldn't rely on it to be your cardio though.
