    Pedometers work based on vibration from what I can tell. If you are moving along in your walk it counts. When you are slow, like grocery shopping, browsing, it stops. Dancing may not be constant enough for it to monitor. However, never have that thing on when you move the lawn mower...the poor little thing goes haywire counting.
    :D

    My husband has his pedometer in his pocket when he's on the riding lawn mower and it records a lot of steps.

    When I walk the dogs in the big grassy field in the morning, they stop a lot to sniff and eat grass and my pedometer records a very low step count---this morning it was 497 steps in 25 minutes.

    It also counts differently depending on where you place the pedometer (that I have noticed). I was usually carry my iPod in my waistband on my hip. It records my walks. One time I put it in my pocket due to weather and it inflated the steps. I knew because there is a pedometer on my shoe. So, our lessons , theses tools do help, but they only estimate.

    Awesome Alpha! You're on fire in the total mileage!!
    Do you use Fitbit? I never did until I got their scale but now that I have an account I am addicted to their little mileage badge program... I get them based on my MFP pedometer. You should check it out!

    No, I sure wish I could, but it is a little more than I can afford. I just use my little iPod and I leave the pedometer on my shoe for all time. The iPod is just for my exercise walking.

    Week 1: 63,529 steps; 26.1 miles
    Week 2: 50,657 steps; 20.7 miles

    I didn't put much effort into any kind of exercise last week, so those totals are a happy surprise. I've started well this week, and I do plan to keep it up.
