Interesting article and I'm going to try it. Does anyone have a pedometer that counts steps?
Today I got to 5,000-about a mile as I understand it.
Tomorrow 500 more!! Come join in adding steps to your life!!

Hey Golly, interesting. I decided not to buy one but an "older" lady at the gym was told to monitor how many "steps" she took and was astounded. 10,000 seems to be the magic number. I believe Barb has one of these so you will have a pedometer buddy :)

I think being able to "see" what you are achieving is a great idea and has obviously inspired you to do more tomorrow so that is a good thing right. Hilary

**I sort of remember you saying you had a talking one. :)

I'm getting curious as to what they say now. ;)

**They probably say "Hey you, get cracking!!!!!" HA! Gee, Golly I know what you all mean about figuring out how these kind of things work.Modern gadgets are made a lot easier by having the younger generation around to show you how to use them. Anything like this and heart monitors etc. we take to the guys at the gym, God bless their little cotton socks! and don't even ask me about DVD players etc. Hilary
