How to Measure Stride Length for My Omron

Omron is a company that offers consumers various types of equipment to help aid in overall fitness and health. For example, you can purchase an Omron pedometer. A pedometer measures the amount of distance you have moved. It does this by knowing how many steps you have taken on your total path. However, the pedometer cannot know how many steps you have taken until you enter your stride length. There is a simple method you can use to measure your stride length to enter into an Omron pedometer.

Instructions

1. • 1

     Start at one end of a room. Be sure there is enough space to take 10 steps.

   • 2

     Take the 10 steps. Use your normal stride length. Do not try to force an unnatural stride length or form.

   • 3

     Use a tape measure to calculate the distance you travelled in those 10 steps. Measure in inches.

   • 4

     Divide the number you got in Step 3 by 10. Then, divide it by 12, which represents inches per foot. The number you get is your stride length.
