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!

Accurate Wrist BP Monitor,
I compared it to the best rated the WalMart brand ReliOn brand It matched the readings within a 1 to 2 points. I made sure that my ReliOn was accurate using a stethoscope and also by comparing with a manual unit many times.
HEM-637 is quiter and much smaller than the ReliOn. One feature I like is that it does not start unless held in the correct poisition. The key is to hold the hand steady, not move, or talk. To hold the arm steady, rest the plam just below the opposite shoulder. Also, make sure that the wrist does not touch the chest to avoid getting erroneous reading.
It is, however, $30 more expensive than the ReliOn. Consider purchasing it if you are a traveller or have uncontrolled BP. It will allow you to track BP under various stress conditions (work) without being noticed.
It stores 99 readings with date and time making recoredkeeping easy. The lack of PC software is not an issue for me. I find manual recordkeeping is faster and quite adequate.

|My CARDIOLOGIST Told Me To Buy This Exact Brand & Model,
I love my Omron 637 wrist blood pressure monitor. It is so convenient — especially with the Advanced Positioning Sensor.* It saves 90 measurements, you can view graphs with the results and helps me to understand what my body is going through. My cardiologist told me to buy this particular brand and model (he gave me another suggestion but said it wasn’t as good as this one). I especially liked it when I felt very weak shopping at a department store after giving blood earlier in the day — when I went home (with aid of my family), I took a reading and found that I was suffering from a vasovagal episode – sudden low blood pressure. I appreciated knowing the readings over the next few days to see my gradual return to normal pressure.
I am sure that a trained and experienced medical technician with an arm cuff blood pressure monitor could do a more perfect job but this is just what a person at home can use and not worry it is innacurate enough to cause a person’s health to be in jeopardy.
By the way, someone complained about inaccuracy of these monitors but my doctor had me bring my monitor to the office my last two visits and checked to see if it was any different from a professional using the arm cuff monitor — the difference was negligible. All cardiologists want you to bring your monitor to the office visits so I am sure they don’t recommend inaccurate monitors — I have seen the signs in different doctors’ offices saying to always bring your monitor and readings with you.
I recently bought another one of these for a friend and it so convenient for them. You don’t have to experiment with where to put a cuff on the arm — this one goes right on the wrist and the *Advanced Positioning Sensor lets you know when it is placed in the correct position near your heart — it beep-beep-beeps and then starts closing down on your wrist to check your blood pressure. It won’t do it unless it is in the right spot.
By the way, I am still using the first batteries that it either came with or I put in and it has been over 2 1/2 years. Amazing!

|Omron,
I am an RN & use this blood pressure wrist cuff often. It’s accuracy is guarenteed by Omron & certified by the American Heart association. When a quick check is necessary or when people have contracted arms it is invaluable.If anyone has trouble perhaps instructions are not being read. I have owned one for 3 years without problems & am now buying it for each one of my grown children.
