I just walked up and down my house hall and rooms, (wearing my pedometer) i had the week off and didnt want to go out cz it was raining,well i did 82 miles this week.(i wrote it down everyday) Lol. Guys just wanna say, you can workout anywhere,anytime! Hehe, Goodluck to y’all! x
I’ve started using a pedometer at work. I’ve measured each stride length as 10 inches. [Yes, I'm short!]
What I would like to find is an easy way to calculate number of miles that I’ve walked based on the number of steps I have taken that day .
Let’s just say for example that yesterday, I walked 12,763 steps and I wanted to know how many miles I’ve walked.
It seems pretty complicated because there are 12 inches to a foot and 5,280 feet to a mile and 36 inches to a yard and 1,760 yards to a mile. Every time I try and sit down to do the math, it gets confusing.
Is there an easy way to do this?
How many miles a day should I walk. I am 14 years old not athlete or anything. Just want to know how to get enough exercise to not get fat or be a couch potato. Currently I do a 3 mile walk one day. Than a 1 mile work for the next 2 days. Than a 3 mile walk. Than the next days I don’t do anything. Please note that I’m not a track runner and don’t want to be one. And tell me the equipment I should use. I currently use. A water bottle, Pedometer, and watch. I won’t get lost because I know every street in the area.
Hello. I am a runner and I usually run around a track at a school to measure my miles. But sometimes I can’t run at the schools because of after school sorts and stuff like that.
I was wondering if there was anything that meaures miles when you run. I know there is pedometers.. but don’t they only measure steps? Because it’s going to take more steps to walk a mile.. than run.. right??
What can I do to measure my miles?
If you want to know not just the number of steps you’ve taken, but the distance as well, you can calibrate a pedometer. The simplest way is to wear it while walking a known distance, such as once around a quarter-mile track, at your normal walking speed. Then multiply that number of steps by four, and you know your typical number of steps per mile. (For greater accuracy, you should walk a full mile-four times around the track). Now, anytime you want to estimate the distance you’ve walked, just divide the total number of steps you’ve taken by your “steps per mile” calibration. Keep in mind it’s just an estimate, because the length of your stride increases as you walk faster. So, on faster walks you’ll be underestimating the distance somewhat, and on slower walks you’ll overestimate a bit.
Some pedometers allow you to enter your step length (based on a calibration walk) and they will calculate your walking distance automatically. Fancier models will even estimate the calories you burn if you enter your body weight as well. But don’t count on these calorie estimates to be particularly accurate, given the wide variation of fitness levels and personal physiology of individuals.
