Compare pedometers here
When I decided to buy a pedometer I wanted to make sure I knew and understood all the possible options, so I created this page to take a close look at what is available.
At the top of the line there's a pedometer with a USB connection. You can connect it to a computer with Windows 2000 or XP, and download your exercise history.
If you're into simplicity and economy, there's a great model with a cover that does absolutely nothing except count steps.
The choice is yours. Enjoy your pedometer shopping!
Durable Digital Pocket Pedometer
Electronic pedometers give walkers that extra encouragement needed.
This durable, digital pedometer is so sensitive it can be dropped into your shirt pocket and still maintain an accurate count of steps taken. It automatically resets to 0 at the end of the day, but keeps your numbers in a memory bank for a week. Enter your stride length to find out the distance covered. There's also a clock, calorie counter, and aerobic read-out.

High quality, accurate, and dependable. This is the one I bought and I've been very happy with it.
Pedometer options
...what are your pedometer preferences?
There are a lot of pedometer options these days so I'm putting as many as I can find on this page... so choosing a pedometer will be easier. Right now I'm favoring Omron pedometers but my mind is still open to other brands. My preference is for a pedometer I can put into my pocket rather than hang on my waistband. Your mileage may vary.

It has a USB connection and comes with software for Windows 2000 or XP, so you can keep track of your progress by day, week, month, or year.

Keep Your Pedometer Safe
A leash with metal clip helps keep your pedometer at your side.
Some people have issues with pedometer loss. They are known to jump off belts and disappear, and we wouldn't want that, would we? This excellent leash has a metal clip - not plastic as some of the pedometers provide when you buy them. A metal clip is of course more durable and trustworthy for daily use.

- I'm just thinking ... how many steps have I taken in my life? I wonder if there is a chart that shows in our different decades and that compares to show how it declines with age?

- I've often thought it would be fun to have a pedometer, so this information comes in handy in case I decide putting one on my Christmas list.
