In business, and life, I like to live by the slogan “that which is not measured, can’t improve.” According to a large study of physical fitness results, and pedomoter use, wearing a pedomoter has shown to increase your steps by 2000 each day. What that means is people wearing pedometers walk, on average, of 1 extra mile, each day, which translates into burning 100 more calories each and every day.

A pedometer forces the exercise participant to pay close attention to a particular goal, such as walking 10,000 steps everyday. As a result of the analysis of many studies pedometers are shown to really work! They can be looked at as little motivational tools.

Your goal, each day, should be to strive for 10,000 steps. The average person not wearing a pedometer walks only 5300 steps each day. Therefore, by becoming aware of the steps you are walking each day, and the number you should be walking each day, fitness participants have a tendency to try and meet their goal of 10,000. By walking more people will reap the many health benefits of additional physical activity.

Here is an article I found that will give you more information on this topic, and recommendations to various quality pedometers you should invest in. http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2007-11-20-pedometer_N.htm

I highly recommend setting goals, and tracking workings in your fitnes program. Now off for another 2000 steps!
