Trying to get to 10, steps per day on the weekends. Weekdays I can only fit in 6, steps per day. You are right. It is hard to get 10, steps in without going on frequent walks. I am recording my progress in a journal. For the last month, I have met my daily 10, step goal. Karen — it is hard with busy daily schedules to fit in those extra 4, steps. Add a few more steps into your usual activities and you will gradually move to 10, steps. In the past 3 months, I have lost 15 lbs by counting calories and walking 10, steps most days.
Its not hard to get those steps. You simply have to get up earlier. I get up at 5 am to have time to get them out of the way so as there is no other obstacles. Good luck.

Try using these helpful tips to make your pedometer more effective. Calculating your stride length is an even more precise way to figure out exactly how many steps it takes you to walk a mile.
To do this, start by going to a place where the exact distance between two objects is known. You can use a track if there's one nearby. Next, walk at a comfortable pace between the two points. Be sure it takes at least 20 steps to do this. Finally, divide the total distance you walked in feet by the number of steps you took. This number is your stride length.
Since there are 5, feet in a mile , you can use this number and your stride length to calculate how many steps it takes you to complete a mile. To do this, divide 5, by your stride length in feet.
While it's certainly not the most precise method, several standardized height-to-stride ratios can also be used to quickly estimate the number of steps in a mile.
Walking is a great way to lose weight and stay in shape. The section below provides the answers to some of the more common questions about this form of exercise. Just as each person's stride is slightly different, each person walks at a different speed. On average , adults walk at a rate of about 3. At this pace, it would take 19 minutes and 21 seconds to complete a mile. However, this number can vary greatly depending on the person's fitness.
Read the instructions to see how to set its sensitivity, so it isn't over-counting steps. Research also shows that wearing at fitness tracker on your non-dominate wrist is better for accuracy. Your steps per mile will be inaccurate when wearing a wrist-based fitness tracker if you don't use arm motion, such as when you are holding onto the handrails of a treadmill or pushing a baby stroller.
They may also be inaccurate when you are using trekking poles and not moving the poles every step. Looking to start walking off the weight? Our free guide offers tips, workouts, and a printable schedule to help you get on the right track.

So I usually cover 1, steps when walking a mile and 1, steps when running a mile. Once you understand exactly how many steps you take to complete your mile you can easily reverse engineer this data and get a more accurate measurement on exactly how many steps you walked. For instance, let's say a pedometer has calculated 10, steps for that day. That number divided by 2, would calculate to a completed 5 miles that day. Well, here are two charts you can use to approximate to give yourself a rough guess.
These step counting charts are not exact, but if you just need a ballpark figure, they will suffice until you can do the meter test that I just outlined. The first chart is computed by a two-foot stride. It takes 2, steps to walk a mile. These steps are for those with shorter legs and a shorter height. The second chart is computed between a 2.
