The iphone has a special sepearate processor just for that function so don't worry it's not burning your battery.
 
but Siri called me lazy for only walking 30 steps today :D Sure that I can't disable it ?:D
 
The M7 is the same processor that determines things like the phone's orientation (to switch portrait/landscape modes), parallax and shake-to-undo, so shutting it down (if that were even possible) would disable a lot of things.

Also, apparently it's so low-power that iPhones can even keep track of motion after the battery has died.
