8,000 steps to km by height
Distance depends on step length, which is roughly proportional to height. This table uses the common estimate of height × 0.415 for men and height × 0.413 for women, at a normal walking pace.
| Height | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|
| 150 cm (4′11″) | 4.98 km · 3.09 mi | 4.96 km · 3.08 mi |
| 155 cm (5′1″) | 5.15 km · 3.20 mi | 5.12 km · 3.18 mi |
| 160 cm (5′3″) | 5.31 km · 3.30 mi | 5.29 km · 3.28 mi |
| 165 cm (5′5″) | 5.48 km · 3.40 mi | 5.45 km · 3.39 mi |
| 170 cm (5′7″) | 5.64 km · 3.51 mi | 5.62 km · 3.49 mi |
| 175 cm (5′9″) | 5.81 km · 3.61 mi | 5.78 km · 3.59 mi |
| 180 cm (5′11″) | 5.98 km · 3.71 mi | 5.95 km · 3.70 mi |
| 185 cm (6′1″) | 6.14 km · 3.82 mi | 6.11 km · 3.80 mi |
| 190 cm (6′3″) | 6.31 km · 3.92 mi | 6.28 km · 3.90 mi |
| 195 cm (6′5″) | 6.47 km · 4.02 mi | 6.44 km · 4.00 mi |

Calories burned walking 8,000 steps
Estimated with the ACSM walking equation for a 175 cm adult walking at about 4.8 km/h on flat ground.
| Body weight | Calories |
|---|---|
| 55 kg (121 lb) | ≈ 230 kcal |
| 65 kg (143 lb) | ≈ 272 kcal |
| 75 kg (165 lb) | ≈ 313 kcal |
| 85 kg (187 lb) | ≈ 355 kcal |
| 100 kg (220 lb) | ≈ 418 kcal |
Is 8,000 steps a good daily goal? Large studies of daily steps have found health benefits continuing to accumulate up to roughly 6,000–8,000 steps a day for older adults and 8,000–10,000 for younger adults, so 8,000 steps is a very worthwhile target.
