Pedometer Walking

 

  

A Great Way to Track Your Daily Activity 
A pedometer is a little device worn on the waistband or belt that tracks steps taken. Tracking steps provides a realistic picture of how much daily activity you are getting and can give you a great starting point from which you can set personal goals for improvement. 
Recent studies suggest that walking 10,000 steps a day is the appropriate level of activity for weight management and associated health benefits. 
Note: Most people only get between 900 – 2000 steps a day through normal living and working activity.
