A stride length and weight must be entered so Distance and Calories can be calculated. If
you seek only to count steps, no values need to be input.

measure heel to heel or toe to toe. For example, if it takes 10 steps to cross a 25 foot
room, the stride length is 2.5 feet. 2.5 feet equals 30 inches as there are 12 inches in a
foot. You can input from 10 to 60 inches as your stride length.
