Pedometers

If she’s trying to lose weight, you can give her a pedometer.

A pedometer or step counter is a device, usually portable and electronic, which counts each step a person makes. — Excerpt from wikipedia

Pedometers comes in various sizes and functionality. You may give a simple pedometer that will basically count steps to a more high tech one, like the function to count calories and distance. You may want to check my Omron Pedometer for more information about pedometers.

I bought my Omron Pedometer at Electronics Boutique – ParkSquare at PHP1,400.00. So if you’re based in the Philippines, you may want to check out their store.

How about some can crusher?

Health magazine rated the Omron Healthcare Digital Premium Pedometer HJ-112 as one of its best products for 2006. This pedometer is a great tool to use in keeping track of your workouts, whether you walk, jog or speedwalk. It is so easy to use, but just make sure to setup the product properly before using it, i had spent several test walks before i got it counting correctly. It keep track of your steps, distance and calories burned when you are strolling around the mall, walking to your car or running after your children.

One great feature of the Omron HJ-112 is that it works if placed on your waistband, in your pocket or clipped on to your pocketbook. This allows you to keep track of your steps and distance walked all day, not just during your workout.

Make sure to have this gadget lie on its face or on its back relative to the ground while in a moving vehicle (cars, jeeps, trains etc.). This would make the gadget stop counting, but most likely, there is small variance due to the very sensitive sensor.

Pedometers are proven to motivate people to exercise more. With determination, these gadgets are really a great help in achieving a healthy and fit body. So instead of taking some supplements like hydroxycut, better walk your way to fitness and achieve that fitness goal the  natural way
