Increasing frequency and duration of physical activity for improved health is the
ultimate goal of a walking program. Some walking program participants may find
distances (miles) covered to be fun and motivating. For distance-based walking
programs where people track progress to a destination, we recommend using an
average of 2,000 steps per mile for simplicity.
However, some people prefer a more accurate way to determine distances and
or a way to count other non-walking physical activities. In these cases, the charts
below may be helpful.
Steps-to-Distance Conversion Chart
Below is an estimated steps-to-distance conversion. While distance varies for each
individual depending on stride length, this chart uses an average 32” stride length.
