Hi @Melinda777,

 

It's easy. Just measure out 20 meters/yards somewhere, then walk and count, let's say 3 times and average the number of steps.  So if you cover the 20 meters in 25 steps, 20 divided by 25 = 0.8 metres per step/stride.  Then just convert to inches or centimeters for the Fitbit stride length. Hope this helps.
