Wearing a pedometer daily is great way to start walking for fitness. Beginners usually try to get in 2000 steps each day and then increase their steps by 2000 each day towards the goal of 10,000 steps per day. A pedometer is a small and worth while investment that will help you achieve your walking goals. It’s actually fun to challenge yourself and see how creative you can be to get in 2000 steps each day! All basic pedometers provide the distance you’ve walked via steps or miles. Pricier pedometers can calculate and display other interesting stats such as distance, calories burned, speed, elapsed time and steps per minute. Even more expensive pedometers have fancy features such as stopwatch, alarm, am/fm radio, mp3 player, talking, playing music or reading your heart rate.
So, ask around, shop around and think about what features will suite your needs. The average person probably does not need the Porsche of pedometers, but if you walk a lot you may want to investment in the BMW of pedometers.
Listen to someone who has been there, if you buy one that's too inexpensive you may find it stops working after just a few weeks… or days! If you buy one that's to fancy you may not use it because it's too complicated. Here's a link that I hope will help you do a little research and figure it all out: http://www.pedometerdirectory.com/Results.aspx?query=Pedometer&sessionid=c05ert455ggzlp45wkc5a555&cc=us&ns=1&eas=BnUBhylaMkbxz2*B3y7i4g Of course it's always nice to buy from our local area stores after researching online.
