Pedometer Lowest
What counts as a step for a pedometer?
My daily exercise includes around 30-40mins vigorous jogging on the spot. These are the questions I would like answered:
Should a pedometer be used for such an exercise?
What counts as a step? If in a given amount of time my right foot hits the floor 10times how many steps have I done? This is mainly to check the calibration of the pedometer
Also what is the average amount of calories that are burnt in 10 minutes? I am 53kg and 1.73m height. On average the pedometer marks 27cal per 10 minutes which do seem a bit low :s
Thanks to all those who try to help me
A step is when you lift one of your foot from a resting position e.g. both feet side-by-side, to form a distance from the other foot. So if your right foot hits the floor 10 times you have in fact walked 20 steps (assuming you started from the right foot and came to stop back to resting position with both feet side by side)
27 cal per 10 minutes is a normal amount. As always, the amount burned depends and differs from each and everyone of us. Don’t worry about it. That amount seems good, if you’re walking. I am heavier by 25kg than you are and as tall as you so I burn around 80 cal per 30 minutes, which equal to around 27 too. So it differs. Cheers
