Set your weight, the hours you would walk, and a gentle pace. These are honest estimates and the assumptions are shown underneath.

Pace
7,920
Steps per day
450
Calories per day
Rough estimate. Around 1,320 steps per km, and METs of 2.0 for a slow stroll or 2.8 for an easy walk applied to your body weight. Real figures vary by person.

A slow desk walk does not feel like exercise, which is exactly why it works. At a gentle pace you can type, read and take calls, and the movement disappears into the day rather than competing with it.

The calculator uses the standard MET method for walking, with your body weight and hours as inputs. The assumptions are shown under the result. Real figures vary with stride, posture and fitness, so treat the numbers as a good estimate rather than a promise.

What matters more than any single figure is consistency. Slow walking spread across a working day, most working days, adds up to far more movement over a year than a gym session you skip half the time. That is the whole case for putting a quiet walker under the desk.

WHY IT ADDS UP

Every one of those steps is taken on a quiet wooden pad, with no motor and no power bill.
