Mini Steppers & Stair Steppers | Cheap Pedometer For Sale

A cheap pedometer will measure the exact number of steps you have taken during the day. This can give you a good idea of the amount of exercise you are naturally doing in your daily life. Scientist believe we should all do about 10,000 steps per day. At this level you may lose weight if you are carrying to much, your blood pressure should improve and your leg strength and general overall feeling of wellness and energy should improve.

As with any exercise equipment, the key is how you use it. You can get the best results from an inexpensive pedometer by recording your daily totals so you can set targets for improvement. Studies have shown that individuals that record daily output in steps often push on subsequently and show dramatic improvement over even short periods.

Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer

I like the Omron HJ-112 Pedometer. I like items that are simple, robust and well thought out and the low price Omron HJ-112 is just that. With a lot of pedometers you have to wear them on your belt throughout the day but the Omron is more straightforward, you can just put it in a pocket and it will accurately measure steps over a 24hr period returning to zero at midnight, if you want to clip to a belt this is possible but for me, it is not always convenient enough (and I don’t like wearing gadgets in plain view).

This cheap digital pocket pedometer is easy to use. It has a large read-out so it only takes a glance to note how many steps you have taken and it will record your steps over seven days so you don’t have to remember to make a note each day. Set up is easy and just requires you to input your stride length (however as stride length varies if you are jogging or running you can’t really use this pedometer for anything except general walking exercise). I also dropped mine on a couple of occasions without causing damage so the unit is reasonably robust.

It is not the cheapest on the market even though it only costs $20 or so, but you get the usual (generally inaccurate) calorie counter and total miles walked features that lower priced models don’t have.

Overall I found this to be a good little model for walking exercise, it isn’t ideal for advanced exercisers (it won’t be accurate whilst you are running or using an elliptical etc.) but then the price reflects what it is for. In the end I gave mine to my sixty year old mother as it was easy for her to use and read and an easy way to motivate her to do a little extra exercise. So far she seems most enthralled with it.

If you are looking for a robust, inexpensive pedometer that will keep note of your daily steps the Omron HJ 112 is a good choice. You can get one through the link at the top of the page.
