Iv enever really had to think about this before.
At my local gym, the elliptical i use, has a deep enough stride that my galaxy active watch detects steps fairly accurately. I loved using the Elliptical due to how easy it is to get my heart rate up and keep it there, and yet count toward my daily step goal. Win win.
Well, just bought an cheap elliptical thanks to the quarantine closing all the gyms, and the weather being consistently too shitty for walks or runs outdoors.
Well this elliptical trainer, for a 6' dude like me, doesn't have a deep enough stride for my watch to detect steps anymore. But man alive is it a great workout, better than the gym I'd say.
But now I sit here, thinking I should be a good 2700 - 3000 steps further along than I am, but no, it only counted like 15 or 20 steps the entire time lol
So as I was sitting here looking how to manually add steps based on the distance my watch says I went or convert stride count to steps... it got me thinking..
Is it even equivocal? SHOULD a stride even be converted to steps in the first place? Cause like I know all this crap is pretty arbitrary in value and superfluous, just this new machine is making me question what I thought I knew now and figured I'd reach out to the community
Thanks guys
