i've been wearing my pedometer too! i absolutely hate working out so when i finally hit my step goal for the day i feel like- thank you god i'm done!
Can anyone give recommendations for a good and cheap pedometer? I bought one at the dollar tree, but it kept clicking back to zero while I was wearing it!
I think a pedometer would be great for me...I would be so motivated to see those numbers go up!!
There is a pedometer built into my Bodybugg and I LOVE it!!! It pushes me to go the extra mile (most of the time, literally)! I have never hit 10,000 without *purposeful* exercise. My cardio days average anywhere from 12,000 - 14,000 steps. My highest was 18,900 :)
Definitely worth the investment!!!

This is a GREAT idea, but I too have a crappy pedometer. My old job got me moving more than my new one - where I basically sit at my computer all day! I think I would be shocked by the number on the pedometer.
18,900? wow! My highest was 15,546. 'Course I didn't wear it the day I went to Great Adventure. By the way my feet felt after that, I'm sure it was well above 15546, lol.
Every pedometer I've ever had was inaccurate and reset too easily. I think it'd be worth it to invest in a more expensive one. Maybe it'd work better? i like the ones on Amazon which PC download so that your computer keeps track of your steps with graphs and distance walked! I found one which even tracks miles run! Still, $30 is a lot to pay for something like this!
This is the one I have:
I've dropped it more times than I can count, even landed in a pool of water once, and it's still working.

I signed up for this program the fitness center at my work was doing. It's called Walk this Way. For $15 they give you a pedometer and log book.
This program is the best thing ever!
OK, let me start by saying that I'm already pretty fit. I exercise for an hour 6 days a week, alternating cardio with strength.
I gained about five pounds over the summer and I knew I needed to lose that because the dress they ordered for me was teeny tiny.
I lost some weight just by cuting out sweets, but more melted off completely effortlessly with this program.
I already took an average of 12,000 steps on cardio days, but not so much on strength days. And I thought I was active on the weekends, but those were my worst days! I only averaged around 3,000 steps without exercising :O
I made it my goal to walk at least 10,000 steps every day and it's really made a big difference. Unlike high intensity cardio, it doesn't make me hungrier yet I'm burning maybe an extra 500-1000 calories a week than I was before. It's not a whole lot, but it helps in the long run.
It's really a great motivation to get off of my lazy butt every once in a while.
My advice: buy a pedometer and wear it every day and try and work your way up to 10,000 steps each day. Just a little something extra that you can add to your fitness routine.
