9,000 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″) | 5.60 km · 3.48 mi | 5.58 km · 3.46 mi |
| 155 cm (5′1″) | 5.79 km · 3.60 mi | 5.76 km · 3.58 mi |
| 160 cm (5′3″) | 5.98 km · 3.71 mi | 5.95 km · 3.70 mi |
| 165 cm (5′5″) | 6.16 km · 3.83 mi | 6.13 km · 3.81 mi |
| 170 cm (5′7″) | 6.35 km · 3.95 mi | 6.32 km · 3.93 mi |
| 175 cm (5′9″) | 6.54 km · 4.06 mi | 6.50 km · 4.04 mi |
| 180 cm (5′11″) | 6.72 km · 4.18 mi | 6.69 km · 4.16 mi |
| 185 cm (6′1″) | 6.91 km · 4.29 mi | 6.88 km · 4.27 mi |
| 190 cm (6′3″) | 7.10 km · 4.41 mi | 7.06 km · 4.39 mi |
| 195 cm (6′5″) | 7.28 km · 4.53 mi | 7.25 km · 4.50 mi |

Calories burned walking 9,000 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) | ≈ 258 kcal |
| 65 kg (143 lb) | ≈ 305 kcal |
| 75 kg (165 lb) | ≈ 352 kcal |
| 85 kg (187 lb) | ≈ 399 kcal |
| 100 kg (220 lb) | ≈ 470 kcal |
Is 9,000 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 9,000 steps is a very worthwhile target.
