1 Activities to Miles Conversion Based on 30 Minutes of Continuous Workout All physical activity counts! Use the conversion guideline and chart below to calculate equivalent miles. Generally speaking you can count on 2,000 steps will equal one mile. 10,000 steps should be considered 5 miles. 9 holes of golf (no cart but walking) equals about 8,000 steps. Most people will get about 1,200 steps in about 10 minutes. Activity Estimates You Are: VERY INACTIVE INACTIVE MODERATELY ACTIVE ACTIVE 2,500 STEPS OR LESS PER DAY 2,501-5,000 STEPS PER DAY 5,001-7,500 STEPS PER DAY 7,501-10,000 STEPS PER DAY VERY ACTIVE GREATER THAN 10,000 STEPS PER DAY Conversion of PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES into MILES (these are based on an average) Activities to Miles Chart: Use this chart to convert common activities into miles.
