Walking has many health benefits and it does not cost a thing to do it. For your health and motivation, be determined to fit walking into your schedule even if you can't find the time to do anything else. However, first make sure you have a full physical and get permission from your doctor to engage in this activity. Also, for safety reasons, especially if you are a female, find a safe neighborhood, or a populated park to walk in where there are plenty of other people around. You can also form a walking club with your neighbors, or friends to make it fun. Make it a goal to be accountable to each other to walk at least three times a week. It's great exercise for your heart, can reduce stress, as well as lower your blood pressure, and help you lose weight if you walk consistently. We have included some of our favorite health gadgets on our website which you may find useful in your fitness endeavors. Most of all, just get out and walk. It's fun and it's free!
Next week, I'll share with you specifically why I started walking!

Not Accurate,
This is my second pedometer, and while better than my first one, I am not happy with it. The directions are very confusing. I have never figured out some of the features and how to adjust them. If I am doing vigerous walking it does a very good job of counting my steps. However, if I am out shopping or slowly walking, sometimes the step counter never changes. Today, I walked all over the grocery store and the number of steps never changed since I was slowly walking. I am sure there must be a more accurate, easy to use pedometer out there.

Disappointing,
I used this pedometer for about 3 months before the pins fell out that held it together – only to be lost forever. This pedometer is not very easy to use.
I kept having to refer to the difficult-to-follow instructions to figure out how it works. It has some good features, but I lost interest in trying to learn about them, so I ended up just resetting it daily and using the step/calorie counters only. All in all, I am going to buy another pedometer as this one is useless to me without the belt clip.

Inaccurate,
I walk pretty much the same distance daily, and this device gave me wildly different readings for the same route. I could see being off by even 100 steps for variations in stride, etc. But off by thousands of steps? Hardly worth it.

If you want accuracy don’t buy this one.,
Sportline 304 ShrinQ 2.0 Pocket Pedometer (Blue)
So I bought one of these, read the manual, input my personal information, height, stride, etc. and was really excited that at the end of a normal day it registered 16,125 steps. I’ve been reading about the 10,000 step a day stuff and thought “piece of cake.” Well, I gave it to my girlfriend who had been using another pedometer but was looking for something smaller and less conspicuous. After she read a similar result she thought there must be something wrong as she had been averaging about 8,000 steps a day. Sure enough I paid closer attention and did some tests counting steps and it was off, way off. Resetting it and putting it down on the table 5 steps. Walk to the kitchen 60 steps (I don’t live in a big house.) So I called customer service and though they were very nice they basically told me that it is a very sensitive unit and they recommend not keeping it in your pocket while seated and to only use it while actually walking. This kind of defeats the purpose of the design which is intended to be portable and very discrete. They offered to send me a new one if I sent it in but they were sure it would give me the same results. I’m going to try to return it. It is not accurate to my satisfaction.

Already Returned It,
Shame on me, I didn’t do my research before buying the Sportline 304 ShrinQ 2.0. In fact, I thought Pedometers were all the same. Unfortunately, I was wrong.
I, like all but 1 reviewer, found that the accuracy was terrible in the unit. It counted steps while I was sitting still at my desk…who knew walking could be so easy?
While the size and ease of programming are nice features, this pedometer does not meet its intended purpose.
It gets one star ’cause I can’t rate -0-.

Limited accuracy makes other nice features irrelevant.,
This pedometer has got a lot going for it:
-It’s small
-Can easily fit in any pocket
-Has other functions such as clock and activity timer
But that doesn’t matter much as it is wildly inaccurate in most situations. I wore it along with a conventional pedometer (that I’d previously validated in parallel with the industry-standard Yamax) and it was only moderately accurate for medium-speed walking, and totally unacceptable for mixed activity. In most situations it tended to seriously over-count. If they come out with a more accurate version of the same thing, it’ll be a good device. Not Yet!
