MEASURING YOUR STRIDE LENGTH

Your stride length is defined as the distance you cover, 
on average, with one step. A typical stride length is about
30 inches, or 80 centimeters (the default values are preset 
in your MyStride).

To measure your stride length, you’ll need a tape measure.
Find a place where you can walk ten steps in a 
straight line.

Walk ten steps at your normal speed. Measure the 
distance between your start and end points, and divide
by ten. This is the stride length to enter in “Setup Your
MyStride” found on page 06. This measurement will need to
be in either inches or centimeters.

Formula: (end point - start point) / 10 = stride length

DAILY STEP COUNT GOAL

To live healthy and reduce chronic disease risk, the
American Heart Association recommends walking 
10,000 steps a day. For effective weight loss, consider
walking 12,000-15,000 steps, and for a high level of 
fitness, walk at least 30,000 steps a day.  

The vertical graphic on the left side 
of the screen indicates the 
progress you’ve made toward your 
daily step count goal. A horizontal 
bar displays each time you reach 
one tenth of your goal. When you 
have reached your goal, all ten 
horizontal bars will flash in the 
progress bar.

To set your daily step count, refer to page 06 of the manual 
(”Daily Step Count Goal”).
