Your pedometer likely comes with an instruction manual which includes directions on how to measure your stride. Most pedometers suggest that you take 10 steps, measure the distance from start to finish, and divide by 10. The result is your stride length. Very fast. Very simple.
However a stride confusingly can also mean the same as a step! This means the distance from where you lift one foot off the ground to where you put it down again. In this article I take a stride as 2 steps and your step length is just one step. To find your stride length just double your step length. So to make it easy here is how you measure your step.
