Default walking...how many points?

I am walking for 15 minutes to a field with my dog every morning,
throwing a ball around for him for a while, then walking 15 minutes
back. I think the walk is about 2 miles in total. How many points do
I get for that?
Cheers

2 mi in 30 minutes is 4 miles per hour, a blistering fast walking pace.
Is your distance estimate correct? Points for exercise depends on
level of exertion and your weight. Assuming light exertion and 150 lb,
that's only 1 point. Assuming a moderate exertion (mild sweat), it's
still only 1 point. If you weigh more, then the calculator might give
you another point.

At 4 mph I would be jogging on my treadmill. She's probably doing around
2.8 to 3 mph at a normal walk.

Don't worry about what people think,
they don't do it very often.
