i was told that you divide the distance by the time. I walked 2.18 miles in 48 minutes. I came up with .0452083. Any other suggestions on how to figure this out? How do you figure your stride out, my pedometer said to walk 10 steps -measure the distance that you’ve walked from heel to heel or toe to toe.. Then divide by the distance covered to your stride. Im 5′3′ and i cam up with 197 inches = 20″ stride. On a website i was using for doing routes, it came up with 26 inches. Why is there such a difference? Are those websites accurate for figuring out the distances on routes?
I’m starting a new fitness routine, which is going to include a few miles of walking during my week. I’ve got my iPod and my water, and once payday hits, a pedometer to boot… but… walking, if I may say so, is.. well.. boring. It’s kind of monotonous!
Any suggestions on how to make it a more interesting or enjoyable experience? Also, does anyone have any ideas on how to add more fitness firepower to plain old walking? I know that ankle weights are bad bad bad! Suggestions backed with links or sources would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance, and as always, respect one another! Namaste 
Ok I know that might sound stupid but it’s an honest question. I have been walking and using my pedometer, 2 of them actually for accuracy. Well today I decided to drive my big ole truck along the same route to see if the mileage was the same and it wasn’t it was less what the hay? Anyone know???
Thanks!
I work in nursing home, I keep track of how many steps I walk on a pedometer, today I cam home and it said, 11,198 steps. I’m just wondering how many calories I burned– walking at a moderate pace average. I am 5′6 and I weigh 151.4lbs.
I’m 5′9″ and 170 (i’m a thick sistah, but not fat) and i gained a little weight over the winter. I want to lose about 30 pounds or so. I want to start walking but i really haven’t exercised in a while. Is walking a good start? Should i walk fast or slow when just starting out? How long should i walk when starting? I have an outdoor track right by me that’s a half-mile long.
