Pedometer- talking calorie counter

Pedometer! sounds good and hep right? Well to me it is definitely somethng new that i have come across.... This morning mom suddenly called me and asked me to read tis booklet and activate Pedometer. Well its a calorie counter while walking or jogging. I did activate it for her and it was so usefull that after mom came back from her walk we could actually find out the distance she walked the number of strides she took in how much time and how many calories she burnt.

Its a very motivating element in walking now. Because generally we calculate the time and km to find out how many calories we would have burnt based on the knowledge gathered from newspaper articles but what we dont know is that, that is just a vague method to a generalised finding. A pedometer is more accurate for it is specific to the person using it. Like this morning mom used it for her walk but before that we had to measure 10 steps of hers on her walk in cm or inches divided by 10 to feed the pedometer with the information of her weight and steps taken so that then it measures based on that.

Now just imagine how usefull a gadget it is to people who want to lose weight and be fit. No more guessing and calculating. All that one needs to do is just walk with the pedometer attatched to you and the rest is done by it.

I surely am very excited about this gadget and definitely will use it.Infact it isnt even that costly the one dad got is for $14.99 which is Rs. 743 but i think in india it cost about Rs.1100 that is what i found on the internet. Imagine where we spend so much on our shoes and gym and others this definitely it a great thing to have.

Also i did a little research on the internet and found that there are many different kind of pedometers like the one dad got is Sportline Pedometer. But there are others with different features. Like some even have radio along with the other features or some just measure the steps and distance like Sportline pedometer measures distance, stpes, time and calories burnt.

I'm definitely fascinated and impressed by it.

Thank you Pedometer!!
