Why doesn't the pedometer calculator count all my steps?
We assume most people take 2,500 steps each day as standard, unless very sedentary. Our pedometer calculator only counts steps you take above this i.e. 2,500 steps are deducted from the number you enter as these are a 'given'. If you add a second pedometer entry into your exercise diary later in the same day, these steps are added to your first entry.
The calculation for calories burned is based on your body weight – this is picked up from the last record entered into your Progress chart (so keep this up to date!). It also assumes a walking speed of 3mph and an average stride length of 2,000 steps per mile.
