What is a Pedometer and Why Do You Need One?
Summary:
A pedometer is an affordable tool that tracks your steps, keeping you motivated to stick to your daily exercise routine. Here's why you should consider using one.What is a Pedometer?
A pedometer is a compact electronic device, similar in size to a pager. Its primary function is to count the steps you take. Most models also convert steps into miles walked and estimate calories burned. Advanced versions can store data for several days and even connect to your computer, allowing you to track your progress over time.
How Does a Pedometer Motivate You?
By wearing a pedometer, you'll be more inclined to take additional walks around your neighborhood or park further away when running errands. Research from the University of Minnesota found that people equipped with pedometers increased their step count by about 2,100 steps?"roughly 20 minutes of brisk walking. This represents a 30% increase compared to those who didn’t use pedometers. Additionally, pedometer users are more likely to maintain a regular walking routine.
Setting and Achieving Goals
To maximize the benefits of a pedometer, set daily and weekly goals. Begin by establishing a baseline: wear the pedometer for a few days without altering your habits to see your typical step count. Then, gradually increase your steps by 500 to 1,000 per day. Simple activities like walking around the block, parking further away, and visiting colleagues’ offices instead of calling will boost your step count. Continue this pattern weekly or biweekly until you reach at least 10,000 steps per day. For weight loss, aim for 12,000 to 15,000 steps daily.
Why Walking?
Walking is one of the simplest ways to incorporate exercise into your daily life, and a pedometer makes tracking your progress easy. Just put on comfortable shoes, clip on your pedometer, and start walking. Give it a try and experience the motivation a pedometer can offer.
