What type of pedometer have you got? I have an Ormon one but I've had various other ones. AS long as it works then thats OK. Interesting that you don't have to clip your on.... mind you mine is in my front pocket and is designed to count steps even if you put i in a bag you are carrying.
I aim for 10,000 somedays I'm good and get more in ~ other days I catch the bus to and from work and this makes a difference.
