LisaM 0 #1 November 22, 2007 Anyone tried this? I am wearing a pedometer and today I have walked 4600 steps and it's 7pm! I even went for a short walk and used the bathrooms further from my desk and ran errands. Sometimes desk jobs stink! ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #2 November 22, 2007 Now you should wear a GPS and see how many miles 4600steps in. how many miles would 10,000steps be. (yea yea I know more than 2 times more than the first calculation) I run 1-2 miles a day so that would help but I think 10,000 steps is A LOT.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaM 0 #3 November 22, 2007 They say for the average person 10,000 steps is about 5 miles. I'm short and have short strides, so it's probably a bit less. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I discovered that yes, in my job, I walk MORE than 10,000 steps a day (on average). I'm a Conference Coordinator and am CONSTANTLY running from meeting room to meeting room, up and down stairs, to deal with clients. Guess my job has a built in gym.

jtval 0 #5 November 22, 2007 5280 feet time 5= 26400 ft. So I guess the avergae step is about 2.5 feet long. (2.64ft) Makes sense. I guess its not so hard to do.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You did all that work to do that math and I could have told you that, yes, they say the average step is 2.5 feet long. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?

Those steps are probably like 40". That would bring my average up plus, I run almost every day. Those strides are probably 48+ inches.

grannyinthesky 0 #25 November 23, 2007 Oops. That's 6-7,000 steps. But, since I teach a lot of beginning algebra classes, sometimes it feels life I've walked that far by the end of a quarter."safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!
