I noticed 1,000 steps is about 10min of walking. (I used a Fitbit for 6+ months).

So 300 steps is about 3 minutes of walking. If I sit at the computer most of the day and don't leave the house, I might get even fewer steps.

3,000 steps would be about 30min of walking. Perhaps I'm more sedentary than average. Sometimes the only steps I get are walking to lunch and back.

But I got 15,000+ steps a few days ago because I went out dancing ^^

edit: also 300/3000 numbers were from my phone, so would exclude steps when my phone wasn't on me.




100 steps a minute is a comical pace. 20-25 is a more reasonable rate.


100 steps a minute sounds like normal walking speed.

With 70 cm step length it means 4 km/h, which is slow walking.

20-25 steps/minute, with 70cm step length will take you to the toilet in one minute.


My brisk pace would be about 120 steps a minute, with 80 cm step (I have long legs), that is about the speed I can sustain for longer time without any sweating.
