What is a pedometer?
It’s a small digital device that clips onto your belt and assists you to improve your fitness levels by measuring every step you take.
Easy, medical research undertaken in the United States determined that the average couch potato takes between 2300 and 3000 steps a day.
Now, based on this research if you increased the amount of steps you take to 10,000 a day, the benefits that would result are an increased level of fitness as well as better energy burn, which = weight loss.
STEP ONE : BENCHMARKING
1. Wear your pedometer and follow your daily routine.
2. Record your daily activity.
3. Record weekly activity.
STEP TWO : GOAL SETTING
1. Set a goal that will increase your first week’s activity. 20% is a good goal to set, as it is an increase that will produce results but is attainable.
2. Create a routine that will allow you to reach your goal.
3. Record your daily results.
STEP THREE : REACHING MAXIMUM POTENTIAL
1. Review your progress from week one and week two.
2. Analyze daily routine for success
3. Set a goal that will allow you to reach 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day.
Both researches and health experts have proved this simple but effective program alike. By changing your activity goals slowly you will begin to see results in both your daily steps but also in your overall health and wellness. The pedometer is a simple tool and a great motivator, simply put it on, follow the simple program and walk yourself to a healthy and more active lifestyle.
How long does the battery last in a pedometer?
All batteries are not created equal -- but, 1 to 2 years would probably be a good general answer. Most pedometers use small 'watch type' batteries that are engineered to last a long time. Replacement batteries are very easy to find in virtually any retail store that carries electronics/cameras/watches....or website (of course).
Where should I wear my pedometer?
Most pedometers are designed to be worn on the waistband - aligned (approximately) with the crease line in your shorts/slacks. That would be (about) 1/2 way between your 'center' - and your side. Either side will work -- but, our testing indicates there is a very slight accuracy advantage on the right side. The pedometer should be worn as straight as possible -- not leaning forward, back or side-to-side. If the pedometers is tilted...it will affect the accuracy of the mechanism that counts yours steps.
Pedometers are equipped with belt clips -- but can get damaged due to dropping. Pedometers are very durable - but, a fall on a hard surface can cause damage.
How does a pedometer actually count my steps?
Most pedometers have a small weighted 'arm' mechanism that moves up and down as you walk. It is specifically designed to be sensitive to your walking motion - and moves up and down as you walk. Each time the 'arm' moves up and down, a step is counted. While that sounds very simple, the technical components within the pedometer have become very sophisticated....and the accuracy of pedometers has improved dramatically over the years.
