For the latest keep fit trend that’s been a phenomenal hit in the States, and set to make it big over here, walk this way. US research has found that walking 10,000 steps a day is equivalent to the 30 minutes daily exercise we need to keep fit. Great news! If you’re in an active job, you can clock up 60% of the total during the course of a normal day! Which means you can reach your target after work by simply walking the dog, for instance.

ProActive Health – the UK’s leading supplier of exercises accessories - has just launched a range of Pedometers that measure the number of steps taken in a day as the user wears it on their waist belt.

Why use a pedometer?

By measuring each step taken, a pedometer is an ideal way to motivate your clients to increase their daily exercise.

How does it work?

This battery operated lightweight device, worn on the hip, records the number of steps from each hip swing.

How to begin

Wear the device for 3 whole days to find out how many steps are taken in a normal day. Make sure one of these days is at the weekend when exercise levels can vary.

How to increase no. of steps per day

Knowing their daily step count, clients can set goals to reach their target count. What’s more they can reach it without really trying just by:
• Taking the stairs instead of the lift
• Walking in a lunch hour
• Parking further away from offices and shops
• Visiting colleagues instead of communicating by email

More than just a pedometer

It can even operate accurately when they’re running or jogging. And by using charts you can convert the time spent doing activities such as biking into the number of equivalent steps. Equipped with indispensable features like a calorie counter, pulse monitor, radio and panic alarm the pedometer is a giant step in getting and keeping fit.
