I am keeping track of my steps per day and would like to get credit in my exercise tracking.

um ... I dont know about steps but I log how long it took me to travel a certain distance this then gives you your speed and from that you can get a good estimate on calories burnt,
The number of steps is just one factor, speed and therefore how much you got your heart working is a major factor,
If your doing more steps than average maybe up your activity level to lightly active?0 -
The calorie burn for steps is different from person to person. It depends on your weight and the length of your stride for instance. I bought an inexpensive pedometer at a major retailer that keeps up with my steps and calories burned. I had to load in my weight and measure my normal walking and running stride.0
