Step Conversion FAQs
How accurate is step to calorie conversion?
Calorie estimates are based on average metabolic rates and can vary by ±15% depending on individual factors like fitness level, terrain, and walking efficiency.
Why does weight affect calories burned?
Heavier individuals burn more calories because it takes more energy to move a larger mass. The relationship is roughly linear - double the weight, double the calories.
How many steps equal one mile?
Approximately 2,000 steps equal one mile for average stride length. This can vary from 1,800-2,400 steps depending on your height and stride.
Is 10,000 steps really necessary?
10,000 steps is a good general goal, but any increase from your current activity level provides health benefits. Even 7,500 steps daily shows significant health improvements.
Do running steps burn more calories?
Yes, running typically burns 30-50% more calories per step than walking due to higher intensity and greater muscle engagement.
