What do you know?

Stride method

01

Two-way conversion.

Enter steps to estimate distance, or enter miles to estimate steps. That makes the tool useful before or after a walk.

02

Measured stride wins.

If you know your own stride length, switch from the height estimate to your measured value for a more personal distance estimate.

03

Hills change effort.

Incline increases the energy cost of walking, so LiveFit includes a grade adjustment instead of treating every mile the same.

HOW THE ESTIMATES WORK

Flexible enough for real-life walking.

1

Distance

Steps and stride length are converted to distance, or distance is divided by stride length to estimate steps.

2

Time

Distance is divided by your selected walking speed to estimate duration.

3

Energy

Calories use body weight, duration, pace, and a modest grade adjustment. It remains an estimate rather than a wearable measurement.

This is a general wellness tool, not a medical prescription. If you are new to exercise, have significant mobility limitations, cardiovascular symptoms, or pain that worsens with walking, get appropriate medical guidance before increasing activity substantially.
