I purchased a pedometer a few weeks ago as a motivator to keep active and so far it is working. I was amazed at just how sedentary my day was. I was only putting in an average of 4 mi per day. (not counting my morning walk on the treadmill)Now I keep track during the day and I am averaging between 8-9 miles a day, my goal is 15. It really does help though, instead of making one trip up the stairs with the laundry, I bring up each load seperately, park farther away etc., etc. If any of you looking for a constant motivator give this in expensive little toy a try, well worth the $15.00 investment. Good luck to all..........:)

I agree, I don't use mine anymore (needs a new battery) but when I first got it it made me really aware of moving more and got me in the habit of adding more walking to my day.

Great investment for anyone!
