Finding the best pedometer to buy depends on your needs and what kind of use you intend for the device. Pedometers use tiny MEMS accelerometer technology to detect movement in various planes, and then send that information to software that attempts to parse out the false movement impressions that inevitably occur. Fitness experts recommend using pedometers to accumulate 10000 steps daily, roughly 5 miles of walking. This has been shown in recent studies to lead to significant decreases in blood pressure, body mass index and body weight. All of these lead to greater health and fitness, but keep in mind that weight loss requires a sensible reduced calorie diet along with increased exercise.
There are a number of good pedometers on the market currently. Omron, Sportsline, Oregon Scientific and Accusplit are some of the better known brands. Retail stores like Walmart stock cheaper models, so it might be a good idea to purchase a pedometer online. You can find ratings at sites like Best Pedometers and use that information to pick a particular device for walking fitness, running, or other needs.
Keep in mind that once you buy a pedometer online, you need to wear it all day for accurate results. Look for a good looking and small device that you wouldn't mind having attached to your belt all day. The next generation of devices may be smaller, and able to clip to other looser areas of clothing. Look for these on the market within a few months to a year. Good luck with your 10000 steps!
