How does a pedometer show a mile?

A pedometer tracks the number of steps a person takes and converts that count into distance based on a pre-set stride length.

By multiplying the total number of steps by the average stride length (typically around 2.5 feet for adults), the pedometer calculates the distance traveled, displaying it in miles or kilometers. This allows users to monitor their physical activity effectively.

Is there any pedometers that measure distance while on a treadmill?

Yes, there are. Horizon Fitness sells pedometers that will measure the distance travelled while running on a treadmill.

If you slowly shake a pedometer up and down you will fool it into thinking you've walked so many steps. So, yes a pedometer will work on a treadmill.
