Inside a pedometer, there is a metal ball that bounces up and down as you take a step. Every time the metal ball bounces up and down once, the sensors in it will record the number it moves up and down, thus counting the number of steps.
Pedometers work by counting the specific vibrations of feet hitting the ground and hip movements. This is why other vibrations, such as simply shaking the pedometer, will not register as steps taken or distance traveled.
People use Pedometers to calculate how many steps taken and distance walked or run.. Generally used for losing weight and keeping fit.
