port side first. The display’s orientation will 
be upside down on your belt; however, it

your waistband or belt. You may choose 
to carry it in a tight, secure pocket. 

The pedometer is also equipped with a 
security leash. To attach the security leash: 

Thread the end loop through the eyelets on the back of the unit.

  Pull the lanyard through the loop and pull tight. 

Place the unit in the belt clip, attach at the waist, and attach the gator 
clip to belt or clothing.

10. MEASURING STRIDE LENGTH

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR STRIDE LENGTH

To find out what your stride is, walk or run 10 steps and then measure 
the distance with a tape measure from the first step’s toe to the 10th 
step’s toe.  

Divide your total distance by 10 to get your average stride length. 

3

  For a quick estimate, walk 3 steps, measure the distance, and divide by 

3.  The more steps you take, the more accurate and realistic your stride 
will be.  An average walking stride for a female is 2 feet (24 in.), a male 
is 2.5 feet (30 in.).
