1. A unitary apparatus comprising:
a housing configured to be worn on an appendage of a user, comprising:
a processor;
a sensor configured to capture motion data of the user;
a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that when executed by the processor perform at least:
capturing motion data of the user with the sensor while being worn on an appendage of the user;
detecting arm swing peaks and bounce peaks in the motion data;
determining whether to utilize the arm swing peaks or the bounce peaks in the motion data to quantify steps; and
calculating a step frequency of the user during a time period based on at least one of the utilized arm swing peaks or bounce peaks in the motion data.
