Walk the Walk - Conversion Tools
While some are walking and counting steps, others are jogging, dancing, and biking their way to Cabo. The following tools are available for those who need help converting activities into a step count and/or from steps to mileage:

Activity Conversion Chart

(This chart provides you with an estimate of steps per minute)

Step to Mile Calculator

(You need to know your "stride" to use this tool - Average stride length: 2.2 feet for women and 2.5 feet for man or you can estimate stride length relative to your height (females: height (i.e., 5.2) x .413 equals your stride length; males: height x .415 equals your stride length).

Cardio Room
Prior to beginning workouts in the Cardio Room, a waiver needs to be on file with Human Resources. Click here to download the waiver.
