Pedometer?

Eve53

Hi everyone! I've been thinking about getting a pedometer, cause I walk A LOT at work and I get curious about how much and all that. I don't have a ton of cash, but I want a good one. I've heard that there are some that you can program your personal stats into and it will tell you how many calories you've burned and all that. Can anyone suggest a good one to me? Please and thank you!

I used an Omron HJ-112 Premium Pedometer, they're about $20 at Walmart, and it was great. You have to set it up to your stats, and measuring out your stride is probably the most involved thing, but even that only takes a minute. You have to like, walk a certain number of paces and average it out, the booklet tells you how to do it. It's super easy. Once all your stats are plugging in, it tells you your steps of course, how many cals you've burned, your mileage, the number of steps you've taken at an "aerobic page" which is cool, and it stores up to 7 days worth of data, so you can do a weekly mileage or step challenge with yourself. Some co-workers and I did that one year, it was great motivation to do all those little things, take the way to the office kitchen or whatever, anything to get more steps in.

I have a Sportline 345 Electronic pedometer. I found it worked well. It was nice when I reached over 10,000 steps.
I hope this helps you

I have been using Omron for the past 2 years. I ordered it from pedomersusa.com
We use these also for a wellness program that I created at work.
You enter your weight and stride. It gives you an estimate for how many calories you burn. Plus it includes aerobic time (walking/running for anything over 10 minutes), calories burned, miles walked, a clock, 7 day memory and steps. I find it to be very accurate. I do have to change the stride for either walking or running since my stride is so different for each. But it takes just seconds to change the stride.

Hi, i use an omron one, its brilliant, 15.99 in argos. It is really accurate, tells you how many steps you have walked, how many were aerobic ones, how many calories you have burnt and how far you have walked. Hope this helps

Awesome, it looks like I'm getting an Omron, the price sounds right and it has everything I want! By the way, what's the difference between an aerobic step and a regular one?

Thanks everyone for your input!

aerobic steps are when you are exercising, say for example on a walk, omron tells you how many steps you have done overall and how many of those were aerobic ones. it is really easy to use and very accurate. goodluck.
