To count strides, start by marking a starting point. Walk a measured distance (e.g., 10 meters) and count each step you take from heel to heel. Divide the total distance by the number of steps to find the average stride length. For example, 10 meters divided by 12 steps is approximately 0.83 meters per stride. Use this calculation to measure longer distances accurately by multiplying your average stride length by the number of steps taken.
