Frequently Asked Questions
How are steps converted to distance?
Distance = number of steps × stride length. Stride length varies by height, pace, and gait. Walking stride averages about 2.5 feet; running averages about 4 feet.
How is stride length estimated from height?
A common formula multiplies height by approximately 0.415 for males and 0.413 for females. This gives an average walking stride. Your actual stride may vary.
How accurate are the calorie estimates?
The calorie estimate uses a rough average of 80 calories per mile walked. Actual calories depend on your weight, speed, incline, and fitness level.
