How does the pedometer calculate calories and is it accurate?
The Aussie Fit Sport pedometer models that calculate calories burned include the AFSDTC and the Slimline. You must enter your weight into the pedometer for it to make a calculation. It does this by using a formula based on your weight and the amount of steps taken. It is a calculation and not an exact measurement as a pedometer cannot detect and factor in all the variables that determine how many calories you burn when you exercise.
