Pedometers

I wear a pedometer everyday.  After my walk this morning I looked at it and I had already met all my step goals for the entire day!   It is so cool to see what I am doing.  It is interesting to see how much I can do in a day as well.  I think the most I have done so far is 14,000 steps.  And let me tell ya, I was very sore that night.

Anyway my point is if you haven’t tried using a pedometer it’s something to think about.  I have noticed I do better if a move throughout the day and the pedometer helps me accomplish that.  It also shows me when I have sat around and done nothing all day.  I got mine on line at amazon.com.  You can find them for as little as $10 or as much as $100.  Mine is an Omron Walking style, it has all the bells and whistles.  It retails for $50, I found it on sale for $32 with free shipping.

    I love my pedometer. I use it for running so I know how fast ( or in my case slow) I am going. I I never wear it just around the house. I should to see how many steps I get in

    I don’t have a pedometer, but today I decided to do things like walk to someone’s office instead of using email or the phone, just to be a bit a more active during the day. I should try a pedometer and see what a difference it makes!

    It is really helpful because I can go for a walk in the morning then not move for the rest of the day. When I have a gain or lose less than a pound I can look back and see where part of the problem is. Like I walked 2 miles every morning, but only walked 1,000 steps the rest of the day. And yes I have done that more than once.

    You talked me into trying a pedometer again. In the past I have gotten some really sorry ones that would only count my steps when it was in a good mood. Thanks for sharing!

    The past 2 times I have read the comments the ad has been an omron pedometer ad. Kinda freaky since that’s the brand I use.
