how do I determine the distance I walked from a pedometer that counts steps?

Actually, you'll get far more accurate results by taking a number of steps (say 10) and divide the distance (use a standard tape measure) walked by the number of steps. You'll then have an 'average step' against which you can multiply the result from the pedometer.

5280\n\n\n"in Old England, the mile - derived from the Roman "mille \npassus" or 1000 double steps - was originally 5000 feet long as in the \nRoman definition (1 "passus" = 5 feet). Later, it took 5280 feet to \naccommodate exactly 8 furlongs, the most popular measure of the time.\n\nActually, the usual happened: the foot and the rod went slowly their\nseparate ways, being used by different industries (the weaver and the \nfarmer ....) Things had to be straightened up and, as the foot and the \nrod were already entrenched, we find these strange figures: 16.5 ft/rod \nand 5280 ft/mile. This was voted by the House under Queen Elizabeth I \nin 1595.\n\nIt should be noted that the furlong comes from the Greek and Roman \nstadion, which they themselves inherited from more ancient times. It \nseems to be the optimal length for the traditional plough.\n\nThe rod was determined by lining up 16 men (after the Sunday Service, \nthe story goes) and measuring the combined length of all their left \nfeet. These 16 feet make up 16.5 "feet." Thickness of the shoes? Gaps \nbetween feet? This is tradition ...."

The best pedometer is the Omron Premium Pedometer model HJ-112\n\nI did a lot of research online prior to buying my pedometer because I wanted the best.  The one I purchased had all positive user reviews and in addition to counting your steps and keeping up with how many miles you have walked, it also keeps up with your aerobic steps and how many calories you have burned.  As well as working by being clipped on, it also works in a pocket or bag you are carrying.  I also like the fact that it comes in a holster and also has a clip attachment.  I definitely recommend it more than any other pedometer.  \n\nIt can be found on ebay and other online sites such as amazon.  It can also be found in stores such as Walgreens and Wal-Mart.  I purchased mine from Wal-Mart for just under $20 bucks.  They are located in the pharmacy department in Wal-Mart.

It depends on your starting point.  I recommend \nCity Distance Tool, http://www.geobytes.com/CityDistanceTool.htm

walking... get yourself a pedometer and try to walk 10,000 steps a day... park your car far away from the destination, take stairs
