710 Steps to Miles
Covering 710 steps in a day means covering close to 0.35 miles of ground. If a landmark helps more than a number, that's about walking every aisle of a typical grocery store. NHANES accelerometer data puts the average American at 8,818 steps a day. This step count comes out to about 8% of that.

| Short (~5'2") | 0.29 mi |
| Average (~5'7") | 0.31 mi |
| Tall (~6'2") | 0.34 mi |

Did You Know?
Caribou make the longest annual land migration of any animal, with some herds covering close to 1,500 miles a year, almost entirely on foot.
A large 2017 smartphone study across 46 countries (published in Nature) found average daily step counts varying enormously by country, roughly 4,000 to nearly 6,900. The researchers found that inequality in step counts within a country predicted obesity rates better than the average did.
