I purchase a pedometer over a year ago and it is a great motivational tool. It monitors the actual steps you take during the day/ distance covered/ calories burned. It is a super little helper! It keep me in line.
I'm pretty active during the day. I run my own business and I have 2 busy body boys (10 and 1) and husband and they each keep me extra busy. I cover about 10,000 steps...or about 4 miles.... during my normal day (the amount recommended by AHA--American Heart Association). In the evenings I boost that number up by going for a walk or hopping on my treadmill..I try to do 12,500 steps a day and on a great day I'll do 15,000. The pedometer helps keep you on track with your workout. Put it on first thing in the morning. It clips on at waist level...looks like a pager. QVC is selling 2 for $17.00 now (talking pedometers). They are great! I purchased mine for 20.00. They are reasonably priced.
Everyone should aim for 10,000 steps per day. It's not difficult. I recommend them for anyone.
