Get ready for summer with help from a pedometer
Bathing suit season is paddling slowly toward us.
Now, there’s no need to panic. You don’t need to start training for a triathlon. But many people could stand to get just a wee bit more exercise, myself included.
My latest obsession is the pedometer. I recently picked up the New Balance VIA Active Pedometer, which is about $36.50 from Amazon. Although there are iPhone pedometer apps for considerably less money that offer more features, I wanted something smaller I could clip to or slip inside my pocket. And a standalone device means I won’t have to worry about my iPhone’s short battery life.
The device displays total steps (users can adjust their pace), average speed, and calories burned and works on either a 12 or 24hour format. The screen also displays the time, day, and date.
I also chose the VIA Active because it has an integrated USB connector. Unfortunately, the device is only compatible with PCs. And the software, which is available for download through the company website, is rather archaic compared to that offered by the iPhone app Discount New Balance 420 Grey White Sneakers.
The pedometer is quite reliable and is so small that one almost forgets it’s there (except when you check several times a day to see if you’ve reached your 10k step quota). Granted, the software leaves something to be desired. But maybe that’s just as well. Because wouldn’t it be counterintuitive to get a program that actually encourages a wouldbe athlete to stare at the computer for even MORE hours in a day?AXS EntertainmentAXS EntertainmentMusicMoviesTVArts ExhibitsPerforming ArtsNFLNHLMLBNBAFight SportsSoccerRecreational SportsReality TVMusic FestivalsLifeLifeHome LivingPetsFamily ParentingFashionHealth FitnessEducationReligion SpiritualityWeight Loss DietingWeddingsGardeningHome ImprovementRelationshipsGreen LivingNutritionNeighborhoodsCareers WorkplaceSales DealsHealthcareJobsHobbiesSportsSportsMLBNFLNBANHLSoccerFight SportsRecreational SportsCollege SportsGeneral SportsFantasy SportsMotorsportsHunting FishingHikingCampingRunningEquestrianWater SportsAction SportsEndurance SportsRecreation High Quality New Balance 410 Grey Black Green on Sale. http://www.yesnewbalance.com/products/Discount-New-Balance-150-%252d-Grey-Sneakers.html
