how many steps equal a mile
907377
Actually, I count my steps, and I do not bother about distance. I aim for 10,000 steps/day, which equals approx. 5 miles (actually 4.73 miles using my actual stride of 30 inches). Impossible to tell you how many (Hammer) steps = 1 mile, because each person's stride (step) is a different length. There are 5280 feet in a mile. If you assume your stride = 30 inches (2.5 feet), then there are 2,112 strides (steps) in a mile. To keep it simple, count 2,000 steps as a mile (+/-). Using 2,000 steps/mile keeps the math simple when you read the pedometer. For example, if you walk 4,500 steps, call it 2 and 1/4 miles. Your stride and your mileage may vary. Good luck. F.COW

It depends on your height and length of stride, but the internet gives approximates. For me, at about 5'3", it's about 2500 steps. I don't worry about how many miles I walk, only if I can gradually add more steps to my daily routine.

Sorry no, but you could keep a record of the steps and then calculate each walk.

Go to torklift website it has a chart and measuring from ground to your door will determine how many steps you need!

Sorry for the long delay! Yes, it does count steps while walking in place. As I have had more time to play with it know this as well: It's a little more complicated than I need it to be but maybe some people like that. The instructions are fairly useless so be forewarned. Good luck!

it counts steps in two ways. it counts aerobic steps, which is walking at least 10 minutes without stopping, and then it counts the total steps that you walk as long as you are wearing it. it clears your numbers every 24 hours and sets itself back to zero, except for the time.

It's the equivalent to various factors measured from your movement. Steps taken, calories burnt, hours won, kilometers run (for others Nike devices) and many others factors are translated to a single easy-to-understand unit: fuel points.

No. There is app you can download on your smartphone to figure out how many steps you have taken each day.

It resets the DAILY steps walked and mileage at midnight. It still maintains a cumulative total of steps and mileage over time. The cumulative numbers have to be reset manually.

It counts your steps whether your walking on a treadmill or on ground and whether your walking or running. As long as your moving it accurately counts your steps.

I have worn these for over two years before the battery went down. Usually average about 20,000 steps a day.

Just measured my steps and it is 20.5" to the top step (4). It measures 28" long. Each step is about 5" high, it is longer than it is high, probably to make it more stable. Hope this helps. 14.5" wide.

I bought this for my daughter, so don't have it to measure, but I remember the steps having enough width (12 to 14 inches) and the surface being non slip and sturdy. I think one could go bare footed, depending on your foot sensitivity, but in an emergency, one will be able to use it.

Each step is approximately 6 inches. My one dog runs up and down the stairs. The unit is very sturdy.

This pedometer simply counts steps. To know how far you have walked, you need to know how many steps it takes you to walk one mile. Reset the pedometer to zero, walk one mile, and see what it has recorded - that's your "calibration". I do this at least twice a year because as they age, dust or fine dirt seems to slow down the mechanism and the steps per mile changes. For me, the steps per mile ranges from 1900 to 2200.

There are instructions included as to how to set up the distance for each step by measuring the inches of your step.

What I did was take three steps then measure the distance with a tape measure. Divide the number by three and that is your stride. My stride was 2 ft 10 inches

The FitBit Flex does not show the number of steps. You would have to look on the dashboard or on your mobile app for exact steps.
