Sportline Miscellaneous Sporting Goods & Outdoors

We all want to go out and exercise more, but maybe we should give yourselves credit for the exercise we get when we dont expect it. Walking around the kitchen preparing dinner, walking from the copier back to your office, all of this adds up--sure it might not be as impressive as going out to run a marathon, but baby steps. We can all improve our lifestyle health, and keeping track of how long you walk in a day and increasing this by taking the stairs, walking to the bus stop and taking the bus instead of driving to work, or parking farther away from the grocery store so you get some extra distance are all great ways to start.Some tips before you buy a pedometer:1. Start small; you probably only need the basic pedometer with the single function, keeping track of your steps in a day and converting it to miles. But if youre tempted, there are plenty of pedometers with many fancy features, like calorie counters, heart rate monitors and speed estimators. Get motoring!2. Pedometers can be a little finicky, but thats not usually the products fault. Usually it has to do with whether you programmed a too large (or too small) stride length or are not wearing the pedometer properly. Make sure all of these things are set to standard so you dont end up with out of control readings.Sportline Step and Distance Pedometer from Target.com: $4.99Really basic, standard pedometer.
