Steps to Minutes Calculator

Formula

To calculate the time in minutes ( $M$ ):

$M = \frac{\left(\frac{S}{\left(\frac{63360}{SL}\right)}\right)}{WS} \times 60$

Where:

$M$ is the time in minutes
$S$ is the number of steps
$SL$ is the step length in inches
$WS$ is the walking speed in miles per hour (mph)

What is Steps to Minutes?

Steps to minutes is a way to convert the number of steps walked into the equivalent time spent walking, assuming a constant walking speed. This is useful for tracking physical activity and can help individuals meet daily exercise goals. It is also a helpful metric for planning walks or runs and estimating the time required to cover a certain distance.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Number of Steps ( $S$ ) = 5000 steps
Step Length ( $SL$ ) = 30 inches
Walking Speed ( $WS$ ) = 3 mph

Using the formula:

$M = \frac{\left(\frac{5000}{\left(\frac{63360}{30}\right)}\right)}{3} \times 60 \approx 47.37 \text{ minutes}$

The time in minutes is approximately 47.37 minutes.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Number of Steps ( $S$ ) = 10000 steps
Step Length ( $SL$ ) = 25 inches
Walking Speed ( $WS$ ) = 4 mph

Using the formula:

$M = \frac{\left(\frac{10000}{\left(\frac{63360}{25}\right)}\right)}{4} \times 60 \approx 59.68 \text{ minutes}$

The time in minutes is approximately 59.68 minutes.
