It takes a little longer to achieve conditioning results walking than through more strenuous activities, but not a lot. One study showed that jogging a mile in 8 1/2 minutes bums only 26 more calories than walking a mile in 12 minutes. Conditioning benefits from walking improve dramatically if you increase your pace to faster than 3 miles per hour (20-minutes per mile).

In another study, participants burned an average of 66 calories per mile walking 3 miles per hour, but 124 calories per mile when they increased the pace to 5 miles per hour. A mile in just 12 minutes is keeping a pretty fast pace.
