a pedometer is important (more than you know)…..I am a young stroke survivor and just learned to walk again. I set goals gor myself everyday about the number of steps I should take and I gotta say, I had many pedometers, but this one is the BEST. I like it that if you shake it, it doesn’t add steps to the count. I don’t know how before my stroke that I never had a pedometer because It also makes me strive to beat the previous’ day steps (It has a memory of 1 week)
and FYI
*1 mile = 2,000 to 2,500 steps
*10,000 steps = 4 to 5 miles
*one city block is about 200 steps
*most people walk about 1,200 steps in 10 minutes
*2,000 steps burn about 100 calories
*3,500 calories burned a week is 1 lb lost.
*12,000 daily calories are recommended daily unless otherwise directed by your doctor
*anything less than 12,000 calories daily will burn muscle and not fat which results to flab and cause “the rebound affect”
