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?

    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.

    I have a Omron pedometer that counts steps and calories.
