OPTIONAL STRIDE LENGTH MEASUREMENT
The initial stride length displayed on the app is an estimated value calculated by your height setting. You may choose to adjust your stride length by adding the new value in the app. For instructions on calculating your stride manually, please refer to the following instruction, and then enter the new value in the application.
How to measure your stride length

Walk 10 steps with your normal stride as illustrated below.
Measure the distance from START to END in inches.
Calculate your stride length by dividing the total distance by 10.
Example: Total distance = 320'' 320 ÷ 10 = 32 inches (2 feet 8 inches)
Conversion Chart
- 12 inches = 1 foot
- 24 inches = 2 feet
- 36 inches = 3 feet
- 48 inches = 4 feet
