TRACKING YOUR STEPS for Destination Walk Program

Mile to Step Conversion - On average, 2,000 walking/jogging steps make up a mile. This means that 10,000 steps converts to around 5 miles with average stride length. It is recommended by the medical community that Everyone walk at least 10,000 steps Daily.

Use your phone to track distance. Download a free Pedometer app (there are many)
Set a Daily Step goal and increase that goal each week.
If you know, for example that you are going on a 2 mile walk use the in app map (or Google Maps, MapQuest, etc.) to measure the distance of the locations you regularly walk.
For steps taken in and around your home and/or at work, count the steps of paths you typically take and write them down! For instance, It takes 20 steps to walk from the kitchen to the living room. That is a path I take multiple time a day. Keep Track!
Check your pedometer several times during the day and keep track of the recorded steps (write them down). Add up the totals at the end of the day.
Use Google to convert miles to steps.
Make a good guess! I know you moved today
