Quick Question

Does anyone know of a good but not high priced Pedometer?  I have one but it changes if I just stand up but not take any steps.  

Thanks

Good luck with that one! I tried several- bought one, not satsified, bought another etc..

I tested them out by walking 100 steps and got my DH and DS to do the same. NONE of them were consistent!. For that 100 steps, with me the range they gave was always over - as high as 160! For my DH it was between about 130 and 140, for my DS 90-110!

So I gave up!

I was just wondering if you tried one where you have to program your stride into the pedometer.  I have seen those and wondered if it was more accurate. 

Where can you get them at?  To they cost an arm n leg?

No, mine were just one size fits all. Started cheap and got more expensive but never got very expensive!!

Not sure what your budget is, but I've had good luck with an Omron pedometer.  They used to run around 20 to 25 at amazon.com.  The one I got was programmable as suggested and would work either clipped to my waist or in my pocket.  The company claimed it would even work in your purse.. I never tried that.

It's been a while since I bought one, but the last time I did.. the one I liked was the second most expensive on amazon.  I don't do the gps as I live way out in the country and don't really need it.

My trouble with it would be that I would forget it was in my pocket or clipped to my waistband and in the washer it went ..  sometimes they'd recover from washing and sometimes they would not.

Good luck with finding what works for you.

The ones I was looking at is from Amazon.com...I think it was around $30. 

I have tried several none accurate the closes was the go wear fit(like a body bugg)  I find most of those after a while just sit in a drawer just try to make sure you are moving more.   Take that beautiful little girl to the park and while she's swinging walk around etc. 

I have gotten two different pedometers, one costly, one cheap. Neither kept as accurate steps as I would have liked and both did the same thing yours does, change even with a jiggle. I wear the lastest and cheapest one and I just subtract 100-150 steps from the total at the end of the night.
