Everyone knows that walking is good for the heart but not everyone is able to track exactly how far they have walked -- unless they have a pedometer. Take the guesswork out of walking with a pedometer that tracks the number of steps you take in a day or in a trek. You can quickly get a better impression of how much you are really walking and whether you are meeting your fitness goal. In the long term a pedometer can be a useful tool for maintaining or increasing physical fitness.
A pedometer or step counter is a device, in modern times usually portable and electronic or electromechanical, that counts each step a person takes by detecting the motion of the person s hips. Because the distance of each person s step varies, an informal calibration performed by the user is required if a standardized distance (such as in kilometres or miles) is desired.
A pedometer is great for the gadget lovers out there. It s also ideal for the person who simply can t find a hunk of 30 minutes-or even three chunks of 10 minutes-in a day for walking. Just be sure to put a safety string through the pedometer s waist clip and pin it or loop it through a belt loop, so the pedometer isn t dropped down a toilet.
