It’s an ongoing goal of mine to keep increasing my steps on the pedometer until 10K is a normal day. As the kids’ fall schedules kick into full swing this coming week, I’m looking forward to 10K+ days on a regular basis!
This past week when I was still recuperating, I checked out Leslie Sansone’s […]
Why is 10 K a day the goal for pedometer users? 10,000 steps seems like a lofty goal for me recently, when energy levels have been low. Dr Catrine Tudor-Locke recommends the following classification indications:
Under 5000 steps per day - sedentary lifestyle
5000-7499 s/d - low active
7500-9999 s/d- somewhat active
10000 s/d - active
12500 + […]
Walking to the aquarium made for a huge step day on our pedometers. We walked from Waterfront Station along the seawall to Stanley Park, which took about 45 minutes. It was a gorgeous walk and the perfect day for it!
With the ocean on one side, and some of Vancouver’s heritage architecture on the other […]
Here’s a screen shot of the pedometer software I’ve been using. It’s super easy to use, and measures steps, aerobic steps, distance walked, aerobic time, calories and fat burned. You can view daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. The pedometer displays the last seven days, but holds 41. You do have to remember […]
I’ve been using the Omron 720 pedometer for a couple of weeks now. I’ve only set two goals: 10,000 steps, and 60 minutes of aerobic steps daily. I admit, I haven’t been consistently meeting those goals. 10 K is not really difficult to do if you are out and about all day. […]
Yesterday was opening day at the PNE, so pedometer on belts and juice bottles in backpack, the family braved public transit to make it there just after opening. Admission was free until noon, which saved us about $60. I hadn’t been there on opening day before, so naively thought that we’d be able to […]
I’ve now installed the software for the Omron 720 and am learning how to use it. I have programmed in two goals–one for total steps, and one for aerobic steps–and download my daily data from the pedometer. Day 5, and I’m thinking I’ve set my goals a little on the high side, since so far […]
This weekend I acquired a new pedometer. I’m still playing with it and learning about it. I have to confess, I don’t really understand pedometer technology. The only experience I’ve had with them so far has been out of cereal boxes.
I got the Omron 720 because it ranks at the top of most consumer reviews. […]
