The core idea is to compare the energy cost of different activities against walking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-1b1e8157 gb-headline-text\">MET values<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The calculation uses MET values (Metabolic Equivalent of Task). One MET represents the energy you expend at rest (e.g., sitting quietly).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you <strong>convert exercise to steps<\/strong>, the activity\u2019s MET value is compared to walking. Body weight also affects results\u2014in general, someone weighing 90 kg expends about 25\u201330% more energy than someone at 70 kg doing the same activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our converter shows <strong>estimates for an average person around 70 kg<\/strong> (\u2248154 lb). These simplifications make it easy to quickly compare activities, but your personal result will vary by weight, fitness and intensity\u2014still, it provides a solid ballpark estimate.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-ff2afdd9 gb-headline-text\">Complete Activity-to-Step Conversion Table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Use this comprehensive table to convert <strong>activity to steps<\/strong>.

A balanced routine includes varied activities, regardless of how many \u201csteps\u201d they generate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-1e78d359 gb-headline-text\">Beyond steps: other options for wellness challenges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many use step conversion in workplace or friend challenges. But steps are just one way to track activity and wellbeing\u2014and not always the most inclusive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-5cc93d39 gb-headline-text\">Points-based systems that include more than steps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An alternative to pure step counting is a points system where different activities and health behaviours earn points. Instead of focusing only on movement, participants can score for workouts and walks as well as good sleep, mindfulness and social activities. A daily points target adds flexibility\u2014one day you might hit it with a workout and a walk; another day with yoga, meditation and an early bedtime. This approach includes more aspects of wellbeing and lets everyone succeed in their own way.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-41eea682 gb-headline-text\">Mental health and mindfulness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Physical activity is only one part of wellbeing. Many teams now value challenges focused on mental health\u2014meditation, stress management, sleep quality and mindfulness. Someone might walk 5,000 steps and also take ten minutes for breathing exercises\u2014both contribute to overall wellbeing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-13a7c384 gb-headline-text\">For organisations looking to go further<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re planning workplace wellness challenges, digital platforms make it easy to build varied programmes.
