Look Twice as Toned: Hills Walk

Tackling hills or stairs will sculpt your legs and butt double-time while burning big calories -- 58 percent more at a 17-minute-mile pace.

Start out on a flat surface for 15 minutes at a speed at which you're hustling but still able to speak in sentences (RPE: 6 or 7).
Find a hill or some steps -- or set your treadmill to a 4 to 6 percent incline -- and walk uphill quickly for 2 minutes.
Walk downhill to recover, or if you're on a treadmill, walk at a 0 percent incline for 2 minutes.
Aim to maintain your speed or go faster so that you can speak just a few words at a time (RPE: 8). Only one set of stairs? Walk up and down for 4 minutes.
Continue up- and downhill intervals until you've reached your time goal. Beginners can alternate between hills and 5 minutes on a flat surface.

Calories burned (45 minutes): 220 (17-minute mile) to 366 (13-minute mile)

I am not sure who your researcher was for this article, however they should check their facts. A 13 min mile is NOT a walk. No woman walks at 4.5 mph., they may jog but they do NOT walk at 4.5 mph. Plus your calorie must me for a 110 lbs woman not one that really needs or wants to lose 10 pounds in a month.
