Return Of The Scale

Move More Daily by Tracking your Steps with a Pedometer

My work is beginning a health program so all the employees received pedometers to track our daily steps.  Our goal is walk 10,000 steps a day, which is about 4 miles.  I was walking an avereage of 4,000 steps per day.  I am very competitive (all in a fun way of coarse) so this wouldn’t cut it, especially since I feel like I am letting my team down.  Well this week I broke 10,000 steps in one day, and have been increasing my steps on a daily basis.

A pedometer is just another way to track and be accountable for your daily activity.  Because I have been monitoring myself, I can no longer pretend that I am active, if I am not.  Everything is right there on the screen.  If I need more steps, I can go for a walk or shopping, or do a workout video.  I am also joining a walking club to increase my steps more routinely.

As for this particular pedometer?  I like it.  It has different modes, so you can see your steps, miles, aerobic steps, and calories burned.  It easily clips on your pants or belt and has a saftey string so it doesn’t fall off.  It also allows you to set your stride to record steps more accurately.  An added bonus is that it has a clock and resets your steps on a daily basis.  Then it keeps a record of steps for 7 days.  All in all, this is a great pedometer.  I wish the screen had a backlight, and I already scuffed up the front, but those are the only negative things I have to say about this product.
