An Easy and Cheap Exercise Program

An easy and cheap exercise program is walking. By walking an average of 10,000 steps per day you will meet the government standards for exercise. This will help you to be healthier in all ways (weight loss, lower blood pressure, etc.) But how do you measure these 10,000 steps? The easiest way is to wear a pedometer. However all pedometers are not the same. The cheaper the pedometer, the less accurate it probably is and may be off by as much as 50%. In tests only 26% of cheap pedometers got an acceptable rating. According to the September 2006 issue of TUFT's HEALTH and NUTRITION LETTER, the Yamax Digiwalker SW-200 is the "gold standard." It cost about $20.00. So for $20.00 and a little time you can be on the road to a Healthier You!
