Your Own Pedometer Walking Program

AX2720MV Accelerometer Pedometer to easure steps in your walking program with World Walk To WellnessStarting a walking program is an easy and fun activity.  Like anything else that we really want to do, it is best to set a time to walk so that you don’t allow other things to crowd out your walking time.  Mr. Pedometer suggests using a pedometer to track your steps and measure your activity time.  He says to wear your pedometer for a week and go about your regular routine. Write down your steps and activity time each day.  At the beginning of the second week, increase your steps by 20% and work your way up each week until you are walking 6000-10,000 steps a day.  10,000 Steps-a-day is the recommended step count to maintain good health.

It is always more fun to walk with people, so find a walking buddy or look for walking groups in your community. If that doesn’t work, consider starting your own World Walk To Wellness walking group. (See information on how to start your own walking group below).  Walking and talking makes the time fly by and being outdoors helps you relax and unwind all while getting in your steps.

If you would like to use a pedometer to track your steps and activity time, go to Pedometer.com and check out the catalog.  There are also some great articles on the site on how to get started on your walking journey to a healthier life style.
