Convert step count to distance and calories.
Free to use, no sign-up required. Steps to Distance is one of 198 tools built into Xenition, alongside a chat that can use them for you.
Converts a step count into distance, estimated calories, pace and cadence, and shows how close you are to 10,000 steps. Use it with numbers from a phone or pedometer.
Stride length is 0.414 × height. Distance is steps × stride. Calories are weight × distance × a cost per kg per km of 0.5 below 7 km/h (walking), 1.0 at 8 km/h and above (running), blended between. Cadence is steps per minute. Bands are Sedentary under 5,000, Low active under 7,500, Somewhat active under 10,000, Active under 12,500 and Highly active above. These are estimates, not medical advice.
10,000 steps in 90 minutes at 175 cm and 70 kg: stride 72.45 cm, distance 7.25 km (4.5 mi), pace 4.8 km/h walking, cadence 111 steps per minute, about 254 kcal, 100% of the goal and the Active band.
It depends on stride. With this tool’s 0.414 × height rule, a 175 cm person covers a kilometre in about 1,380 steps.
Only a little while walking. Once you break into a run the cost per kilometre roughly doubles, which is why the calorie figure jumps between 7 and 8 km/h.
You do not have to open Steps to Distance to use it. Ask Xenition in plain language and it runs the right tool, then carries the answer into whatever you are working on — a document, a spreadsheet, a deck.
