20,000 steps?: Walking 20,000 steps is about 8 miles and is good exercise, as long a person does not end up with overuse injuries due to walking too much. 20,000 steps burns about 800-1000 calories, which is good for most people who have the modern sedentary lifestyle, such as an indoor desk job or a driving job. One's primary care doctor can help with personalized advice.

20K: You burn about 100 calories per mile for a 180 pound person and 20 K is about 12 miles. This would be 1200 calories or about a 1/3 of a pound.
