CALCULATING STRIDE LENGTH
In order to display accurate DISTANCE
traveled, you need to measure and input
your stride length in inches.
How to calculate your Stride Length:
To properly calculate your stride length, take
10 steps at a normal pace. Once completed,
use a measuring device to measure the
distance you traveled in feet, and divide by
10 (the number of steps you had taken).
Convert this number into inches.
Example:
If you walked a distance of 15 feet by taking
only 10 steps, the stride length is 1½ feet =
18 inches.
Formula:
Conversion:
1 foot = 12 inches
8
distance traveled (in feet)
# of steps taken = stride length (in feet)
Please write your stride length here for future reference:
