    . In addition to the walking I did Zumba but I don't count steps for that.

    I carry my pedometer in my pocket all day including when I am at my line dance class....it is interesting that many of the steps in line dance don't register on my pedometer so even though I am moving and picking up my feet, I get fewer steps for line dancing the same amount of time than it would if I were walking. I carry my pedometer all the time because it motivates me to walk more when I might be inclined to sit.

    That's so interesting Barbie! I switch over to added exercise mode, but those calorie burns always strike me as too high. I use my phone as a pedometer so I set it down for class. When I go dancing at a bar or club I do count those steps because I carry my phone in my pocket then. And you're right, only some steps register.

    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.
