Further Steps…

By Lwblog @londonwalks

More pedometer testing. Here's Kim… On the pedometer front, I've had a couple over the years but they are a bit fiddly.More basic are the stepometers that just check how many steps you have taken.When I've used one of these I've racked up between 22,000 and 26,000 steps on a day with two walks and the experts reckon that you need to do 10,000 a day to stay fit so anyone coming on a walk is doing themselves a favour here. The good thing about the stepometers is that they are dead cheap and many health/fitness organisations give them away to encourage exercise - try Health Open Days at local surgeries or hospitals, for example.
