How Our Calculations Work
Stride Length Formula
We calculate your stride length based on your height using the industry-standard formula: Height (in inches) × 0.413 = Stride Length (in inches). This provides personalized, accurate distance conversions.
Steps to Distance
Once we know your stride length, we multiply it by your step count and divide by 5,280 (feet per mile) or 1,000 (meters per kilometer) to get the distance traveled.
Calorie Calculations
Our calorie calculations use MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values, which are scientifically established measures of energy expenditure. The formula is: METs × Weight (kg) × Duration (hours) = Calories Burned.
- Walking at 2 mph: 2.5 METs
- Walking at 3 mph: 3.5 METs
- Walking at 4 mph: 5.0 METs
- Brisk walking (4.5+ mph): 6.3 METs
