Each step you take creates a vibration that is counted on the pedometer as a ’step’. The force of the step makes the counter move on one point. An adult should try and take at least 10,000 steps per day – approximately 3 miles. You will need to calibrate the pedometer (if it allows you) to count the correct number of your steps to the mile, but generally it is around 3,000. Some pedometers also check calorie usage. Enjoy!
There usually around $4 at Wal-Mart.
Pretty cheap if you ask me.
costs less than INR 250.00
Promotional pedometers can have a great health benefit when used correctly as a part of an exercise or workout routine while increasing your company’s visibility. However, you have to make sure you choose the right one.
Steps
1. Consider your budget. How much are you willing to spend per pedometer/recipient?
2. Think about your market. Who will the recipients of your pedometer promotion be? What are my their needs? Ease-of-Use? Functionality? Screen Size? etc.
3. Determine your additional needs. Do you need added features such as attached lanyard, talk, alarm, AM/FM radio? Will you require optional services such as custom packaging?
Tips
* Still on the fence on whether a promotional pedometer can be an effective part of your next promotion? Consider the following:
o Illness Prevention – People who are predisposed to and/or afflicted with certain types of illnesses look to doctors and pharmaceuticals for relief and cures. However, a fitness regimen may be the best medicine-and our pedometers can provide a great motivational factor for getting fit.
o Lower Health Care Cost – With the cost of insurance totaling tens of billions of dollars a year, pedometers are used by businesses large and small to promote healthier lifestyles among employees/staff thereby reducing health care costs.
o Customer Loyalty and Retention – Placing a logo on a pedometer that will be worn all day long or during fitness activities is a great way to get maximum logo exposure. In addition, customers will be grateful for the thoughtfulness of the gift.
o Environmental Awareness – Pedometers motivate people to walk to their destinations which results in reduced motor vehicle emissions. That’s great news for the environment an earth-conscious consumers.
o Reduce Employee Sick Days – Companies lose billions of dollars in productivity annually when employees fall ill, but, through the use of pedometers to promote better health habits, companies can reduce employee sick days while building a brand.
* In our health conscious society, a promotional pedometer is an excellent choice when your company’s image is just as important, if not more so, as getting your logo noticed.
During the fall I walked 30 minutes and it said I walked 4 or 5 miles. I cant remember. But it said that I burned 500 calories or 545, somewhere around there. Im 16 years old and weight 250+ pounds. I dont know if I was walking a normal pace or what, because when I walk I usually start day dreaming and thinking about stuff. I lost like 10 pounds. But since winter has came the weather has been crappy and I havent been able to get out because of the snow. I use dumbbells to excersise my arms. Ive noticied that when I flex my biceps, they look bigger kinda. The dumbbells are 5 pounds, I have 2 of them. I told my dad about getting a manual treadmill. I wish he would buy me one lol. I dont want nothing expensive though, just somethign to walk on, instead of sitting around in the house all day. I dont go to school because of other reasons I will not talk about. I usually stay isolated inside my house nitpicking and eating junkfood all day.
BTW, I walked in my back yard.
