Instructions

      Measure your stride length by marking a line at the front of your toes while standing still. You may use a piece of chalk or a stick to mark your place (we will call this distance “A”). Take 10 normal steps forward and mark in front of your toes where you stopped (we will call this distance “B”). If you are using the pedometer to run, then run 10 strides from distance "A" to distance "B" instead of taking normal steps.

      Calculate the distance of each stride by measuring from distance “A” to distance “B” and dividing that number by 10. The result is the length of your stride.
