I have a Nordictrack 900 Audiostrider elliptical I workout on that measures distance in revolutions or steps but I want to know how many steps are equal to a mile. I have read the manual looked online but im not able to find anything.
Answer
I found a simple answer to your question about the Nordictrack Audiostrider 900, although simple answers are sometimes hard to come by when you’re reading over all the mumbo jumbo from the manufacturers website and sales literature.
The simple answer to your question is this – 3520 steps equal one mile. You may be asking how I came up with that answer? Let me explain…
There are 5280 feet in a mile, and the Nordictrack 900 has a stride length (or step length as Nordictrack calls it just to confuse you) of 18″. So each stride or step is equal to 1.5 feet. To solve the problem just divide 5280 (feet in a mile) by 1.5 (feet per stride or step) and you arrive at 3520.
The more important question is this, why do you care how many miles you’ve gone? You should be focusing on your heart rate zones and calorie expenditure instead of the distance you’ve gone. If you’re only focusing on a trivial (although interesting) stat like mileage your missing the whole point of doing cardio.
