BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before using your FreeStyle
®
digital pedometer, it is necessary
to program the unit with your
stride length and your weight.
Accurate measurement of this
data will allow you to achieve
precise, individual results.
MEASURING YOUR
STRIDE LENGTH:
1) At your normal stride, walk
or run 14 strides, per figure A
below.
Note: If you intend to use the
pedometer while running, you
should run the 14 strides. If
you intend to use the
pedometer while walking, you
should walk the 14 strides.
2) Measure the distance from
Start to End (see figure A) in
inches.
Note: If measuring in
centimeters (cm), convert the
distance to inches by
multiplying your measured
distance by 0.39.
Figure A
3) Compute your single stride
length by dividing the total
distance measured
in #2) above by 14.
Example:
Total distance measured = 384 in.
Single stridel e n g t h =
384 in. ÷ 14 strides = 27.43 in.
stride
4) Round off your single stride
length measure in #3) above
to the nearest inch
Example: 27.43 in. = 27 in.
stride stride
5) Convert your rounded off sin-
gle stride length in #4) above
to feet and inches by dividing
by 12.
Example: 27 in. ÷ 12 = 2 ft. 3 in.
This will be entered into your
pedometer as described in
“SETTING YOUR STRIDE
LENGTH.”
MEASURING YOUR WEIGHT:
1) Using a bathroom scale or
equivalent, determine your
weight in pounds. Be sure to
remove your shoes and
excess clothing.
2) If measuring in kilograms,
multiply by 2.20 to convert to
pounds (lbs).
PROGRAMMING YOUR
