Benefits of Using a Pedometer

Hi People,just a short blogpost on the benefits of a pedometer to help your weightloss regime, or indeed to improve your performance overall.  You must have all heard that ideally to keep active we need to complete over 10,000 steps per day which works out to about 3 miles (sorry guys not sure what the km distance is).  Having a pedometer can help you achieve this goal as it counts each step you take.

The benefits of this is it encourages exercise, you will also benefit from weightloss if you are walking to performing your10,000 steps per day.  More exercise in your routine will improve your chances of not suffering from high blood pressure or strokes or other weight related illnesses.

Keep track, set goals

By setting yourself goals and monitoring those on a daily basis, either electronically or manually in a diary is key to successful weight loss or improved health.

A pedometer  can catch small increases in activity, as you go about your daily chores, you would be surprised the amount of walking you can do at home, walking up stairs at least a dozen times or more for the day. Lets face it research has shown that  many people who increase activity while wearing pedometers seem to do so through these small bits of walking that would probably escape anyone’s attention. But a pedometer records them.
