Calculating Your Stride Length
Your Activ8rlives account has some great things you can do with your data from the
Activ8rlives BuddyBand Bluetooth 4.0. This makes it fun to use - especially if you are part of a
group or team. We all tend to do the things we like doing. So having fun is part of the
motivation for changing our lifestyles. Having fun, creating new challenges and goals, while
being more active, also means that we enjoy our new healthy lives.
The Activ8rlives BuddyBand has a couple of great features, which we use to have fun: it
automatically calculates the distance we walk, the intensity of activity and the calories we use
during the day.
For the
Activ8rlives BuddyBand to work these out for us, we need to enter our weight (kg or
lbs) and our stride length (cm or inches).
If you have never calculated your stride length
before, here is how we do it.
Find a space in which you can measure 10m.
This could be anywhere—indoors or
outdoors—any place that you can walk
without having to stop.
Make sure that you mark the beginning and
end of the distance.
Then just walk along this distance. Try to use a
normal stride and speed. Count the number of
steps you take.
Now the mathematics. Divide 1,000cm (10m
expressed as cm) by the number of steps you
made.
For example, if you took 16 steps, your stride
length is 1,000 ÷ 16 = 62.5cm. (Most of us use
a calculator to do this).
This is the value you enter into the
Activ8rlives BuddyBand (via your
online Activ8rlives ACCOUNT ).
