Not Accurate al all
I bought this after reading the great reviews about this . I am really disappointed with it. The step counting is not at all accurate. I tried adjusting the stride length thinking that it might make it read my steps more accurately but that did not work. Its not worth buying at all..it just over counts . I counted my steps to be a 100 and the pedometer counted them as 135!....

All it seems?
I'm not sure about the Omron as I walk a lot in my job. One day I took note of the reading on my gadget and actually counted the next 500 steps I did. The reading had gone up by 708 steps!! I've done it a couple more times too and it's done the same. How does that happen?
So I don't think it's quite as accurate as the manufacturers say, unless I've got a faulty one. So my advice is, don't rely too heavily on the Omron reading, it may just be telling you lies!

Keep Track To Succeed!
I have an Omron pedometer while my wife has another brand. I have to say that pedometers are probably one of the best (and most fun) ways to stay in shape and lose weight. Set up is easy, and once you're done with that, there's nothing left to do but to do it!

So how much should you walk? The most common recommendation is 10,000 steps a day- which is equivalent to about 5 miles. They get the 10,000 number from studies showing that adults who get this much exercise a day are healthy.

However know too that some research is beginning to show that some populations might need more, or can get by with less. For instance children may need more steps than this and some older adults may not be able to sustain 10,000 steps/day (one study found that a sample of HEALTHY older adults involved in weekly exercise programs reached an average of about 6,500 steps- suggesting that older adults may be able to get by with just 6,000 steps a day or so).

So what if you just want to lose weight? Well, I suggest starting out by first seeing how many steps you get on an average day at your current weight. Then, try to add steps each day, working up to 10,000 over time.

See where your weight is at when you reach the 10,000 step level, and if you still need to lose more, try to add another 2,000 steps a day. Keep in mind that each 2,000-2,500 steps is about a mile, or 100 calories for a 150-pound person.

So if you're looking to drop a few pounds, or simply get fitter, try a pedometer! Also recommend The Sixty-Second Motivator for anyone who needs more motivation to stick with an exercise program.
