Pedometer Features


Accuracy, comfort, cost, and personal preferences might be the most important features to consider when shopping for a pedometer. Consumer Reports and current research suggest the following brands for accuracy:
  • Omron HJ-112
  • New-lifestyles NL-2000
  • Sportsline 330, 343, & 345
  • Yamax SW-200 and SW-700
Pedometer comfort should be considered if the pedometer is going to be worn throughout the day. Pedometers can vary in price and offer a range of measurement options, such as measuring steps, estimation of covered distances (miles or kilometers), and estimated caloric expenditure. Determine what information would motivate the individual to be physically active and assist in achieving fitness goals. Once measurement options have been identified, the search for a comfortable and affordable pedometer can begin. Pedometers can be found in most sporting goods stores and can be purchased directly from the manufacturer.
