Customer Reviews

Accurate and discreet pedometer
It's pricey, but it's worth it. I owned two other pedometers before this one, and they both broke when I accidentally knocked them from the waistband of my trousers. This one has an extra clip to avoid that. It's also really versatile; I like that I can wear it on my waistband or put it in my pocket. In addition, it's easy to use and programme, and I love that it can keep track of aerobic steps, too. This little gadget makes fitness a bit easier, and I'd recommend it to anyone!

Walking Style Ii step counter and pedometer
I have been using step counters for ages and this is the best one to date. Although I have only been using it for about two weeks it has got one main advantage over others, in that it can be slipped into a pocket etc. rather than being clipped onto a belt. Instructions for doing this come with the product. You don't even have to reset it each day as it does that for you at midnight each day!
This is a bit more expensive than most but I think it is worth the money.

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.
