How this calculator works
The selected activity’s MET above rest is divided by moderate walking’s 2.8 MET above rest. That ratio × activity minutes gives equivalent walking minutes. A planning cadence of 100 steps per minute gives equivalent steps.

Common questions
Will these steps appear in Apple Health?
No. This is a browser-based comparison. It neither reads nor writes your Health data.
How should I use the result?
These are energy-equivalent steps, not actual footfalls, tracker credit or a comparison of training adaptations. Swimming and strength training should not be reduced to step counts when judging their value.
