We had a fitness challenge at work about a year ago with a goal of 10k steps a day.

Not to be rude, sincerely, but I Googled it and found the answer right away and didn't bother anyone on this forum. I understand having a feeling of companionship and comaraderie and wanting to chat about it. But really, I use Google all the time and always get an accurate answer right away.

Anyway, for me, at 5'4", it's about 4 miles.

Generally speaking, 10,000 is 5 miles. I'm short for 10,000 steps for me is usually 4.5 miles according to my tracker. Every day!

I love Leslie's workouts!!!! But her 2 mile workout only comes to about 1.6-1.8 miles on my Fitbit, depending on which DVD I do. It's all good!!! Happy walking!

easy to check YOUR stride length, check you dashboard on fitbit and take note of steps/miles . . . then walk one mile on treadmill OR one mile around your block measured as close as possible with your vehicles odometer . . . after walking the mile check your dashboard again and divide by number of feet in a mile and there you have your steps and thus stride length. then adjust it on your settings on your fitbit.

That's the question. If I'm doing walking with Leslie Sansome DVD's, how many miles = 10,000 steps. I am shooting for 300 calories a day to be gone.

R U familiar with Google?

Yes and I did do that too.

I hate it when people say that about being familiar with Google.. PUHHHLEEZE

Me too. It's just rude. It takes a minute to help someone. Holy cow! Ask away ladies.

Right now I'm reading at 10,177 steps and my odometer says 4.40 miles. Lots of it is just walking around the house and yard and grocery shopping.

It's not all 'walking' steps.

I believed I burned 1935 calories.

I don't put my fit bit on till I put my bra on and I didn't wear it on my bathing suit today. So really my count should be a little higher.

Depends on the length of your stride. I have short legs so the distance I travel is considerably less than that of my 6'1"" husband even though it's still the same number of steps.
