Joe over at Gaiam was nice enough to send me this pedometer to review back when I was training for my Weight Watchers 5K walk. It was absolutely awesome to know exactly what ground  I was covering. The first thing I did was to put the CD that comes with in and listen to it. Debbie Rocker literally walks you through set up of your pedometer through your first and if you choose each walk. The days I wanted to see what my calorie burn was I wore it all day and easily saw with a glance if I wanted or needed to get up and move more…  I LOVE that because it was really encouraging knowing how I was doing at a glance in the burn area.

The only downside I found was the pedometer did have a tendency to pop off my waistband from time to time but I remedied that by weaving and anchor through it and attached that to my waistband as well. Maybe the manufacturers can look into putting something of this nature in future models.

I used my pedometer in conjunction with my body bugg I already own and the calorie burn was pretty close, both use different methods to come to that “burn number” so I did not expect them both to be right on with the exact same number.

If you are looking for a pedometer this is a great option for you to look into. After my reviewing of it I am still using it pretty regularly…and I have 3 other pedometers in the house, I just prefer this one to the others.

I have some great news too…Gaiam has offered one to giveaway to my readers!! I am thrilled to be able to share this awesome find with one of you possibly. To enter you will need to go HERE.

 

Do YOU walk for the HEALTH of it?
