Omron HJ-112 Digital Premium Pedometer: A Review
It’s easy to see why this pedometer is rated #1 by Consumer Reports. Extremely light weight, it is just as easy to use. If you don’t want it attached to your waist, not a problem. It can count steps just as accurately in your belt, pant pocket, or even in your purse!
The display is nice and large—a nice feature for the visually impaired. It calculates calories and distance (in addition to steps), and it can even show seven day’s history. At midnight it automatically stores the day’s data and resets to zero.
The Sportline 330 is a rugged, accurate, and inexpensive step counter.
This particular Omron model rises above the field because of one thing: quality. It’s accurate, it’s easy and fast. It’s also dependable (if not indestructible).Some users who have inadvertently dropped it into the wash—or tub- were pleasantly surprised to find that it just kept on working.
This pedometer dangles from a teacher, so even if the clip slips off your waistband, the pedometer doesn’t bounce off the floor.
You won’t have to change much to bump up your number of daily steps, and this pedometer can help you track progress. Try parking on the other side of the parking lot at the grocery store, walking the cart back into the store (not just to the buggy corral), or getting off the bus one stop early. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk the dog each night (he or she will love you for it), and go outside in the sunshine for lunch (instead of sitting in your office). Little extra steps like these, taken all day long, really do add up.
Walking is great exercise and it couldn’t be more simple! Unlike swimming or going to the gym, all you have to do is walk out the door. A pedometer can help you stay motivated, and remind you that you need to walk, walk, and when you are done with that, walk some more!
