Fitness Walking Pedometer

It has been my experience, as well as that of my friends who are runners, that staying motivated and dedicated to a running, walking or exercise program can be very difficult. One of the ways I try to stay motivated is by reading.

I have found over the years that reading about recent achievements by other people has helped to provide me with the incentive to keep plugging away at my own running program. I have discovered that biographies about people who have achieved amazing feats and autobiographies and memoirs by them, have kept me inspired over the years. Four come immediately to mind, Sir Ranulph Fiennes - Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know. If you want a gripping read about one of the world's greatest adventurers read this book. He has practically done it all, including hiking to both poles, running seven marathons in seven days on seven continents, lost fingers to frostbite the list goes on. When I feel lazy I pick up one of his books and then feel ashamed of myself. The other three I can think of off the top of my head are What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami, On Foot Through Africa by Ffyona Campbell and Lance: The Making of the World's Greatest Champion by John Wilcockson. I find these books and many more inspiring, I read them for enjoyment and to keep me motivated.

As well as thrilling and interesting adventure type books and biographies, I also recommend buying a pedometer walking book. There are a few books available on pedometer walking, walking for fun and fitness, the science of step counting, running, etc. You might ask why would I need a book to do something that is so basic? Along with a pedometer or pedometer watch and the type of books mentioned above, these books are another great weapon in your fitness arsenal. They will provide you with all kinds of advice about your walking or running program, ways to stay motivated and weight loss. Pedometer Walking: Stepping Your Way To Health by Mark Fenton and David R. Bassett Jr. I found particularly useful. I also subscribe to a couple of running magazines.

A log book is another great way to stay motivated and is an inexpensive add on to your pedometer or pedometer watch. It allows you to record all the information from your pedometer so that you can really track improvement in distance travelled, speed, time and weight loss. Having everything written down will also allow you to quickly determine if you are starting to "slack off". The Ultimate Workout Log by Suzanne Schlosberg is one that I bought a couple of years ago. There are number of different fitness logs available for both runners and walkers.

Pedometer Walking and Exercise Books for Kids

Every day we are bombarded with statistics telling us how over weight the general population is becoming. This is true for kids as well as for adults. Kids today are spending more time on their computers, watching TV and eating junk food than ever before. If you have children and want them to get motivated about exercise, there are a few books available that target just that. Pedometer use allows kids to create challenges when they walk and run. Just like adults they are able to use a pedometer or pedometer watch to track their progress and stay motivated. One recommended book is Walk the Walk: A Kids Book of Pedometer Challenges by Pete O. Meter. There is also at least one book available which extols the use of pedometers in schools in helping to foster a positive attitude towards fitness.

Kids of course can also use log books and they are also a great way to keep kids motivated about exercise. Carol Goodrow has produced one called Happy Feet, Healthy Food: Your Child's First journal of Exercise and Health.

I think that whatever the type of exercise you are involved in the importance of keeping track is paramount for lasting success. One can rarely go wrong by looking to see what professional athletes do on a day to day basis. If  there is a particular athlete whose career you follow, try to find out even in general terms what they do to stay fit. While few of us can aspire to the level of fitness and commitment they have achieved, we can certainly look to them for inspiration.

Professional athletes, especially runners, triathletes and cyclists are usually very focused on keeping track of all their fitness related statistics ( or they have someone who does it for them ). Taking a page ( no pun intended ) out of their books and using some of the equipment they use can only help us in our quest for fitness, weight loss and health.

Pedometer $98.77 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A pedometer or step counter is a device, in modern times usually portable and electronic or electromechanical, that counts each step a person takes by detecting the motion of the persons hips. Because the distance of each persons step varies, an informal calibration performed by the user is required if a standardized distance (such as in kilometres or miles) is desired. Used originally by sports and physical fitness enthusiasts, pedometers are now becoming popular as an everyday exercise measurer and motivator. Often worn on the belt and kept on all day, it can record how many steps the wearer has walked that day, and thus the kilometres or miles (distance = number of steps x step length). Some pedometers will also erroneously record movements other than walking, such as bending to tie ones shoes, or road bumps incurred while riding a vehicle, though the most advanced devices record fewer of these false steps. Step counters can give encouragement to compete with oneself in getting fit and losing weight.

Bassett, to help readers get moving. These guys know what works, and they``ve got pedometers on the brain. During the last ten years, pedometer use has grown exponentially. "Step counting" broke into the exercise vocabulary when Oprah started sporting her own pedometer, and the mania has only grown.

Bassett and Mark Fenton have stepped up. Covered in this guide are a history of step counting--Jefferson was a fan, and a pedometer was designed by Leonardo da Vinci--advice on choosing a pedometer, and a guide to starting a pedometer program, with looks at successful ones in the U.S., Australia, and Europe. Most important may be the chapters treating the tremendously successful 10,000-steps-per-day programs initiated in Japan, as well as the modifications it needs to work for children and senior citizens.
