Walking

[Janey]

When I am around the house I take reasonable size steps but when I go out for a "walk" I power walk with big strides. Probably each stride is the equivalent to two steps indoors. Which should I be measuring? Normal daily walking or power walking?? Does it matter if I vary between the two and don't actually measure my strides and just count my steps?

I did not read the Omron leaflet how to set up your Omron, left that up to husband

He got me outside to walk up and down at my own pace of walking and then he measured the distance I had walked over 5 steps or something like that.

He got all this information in the said leaflet.

I know when I was out the other night walking around the shops for two hours or more it clocked up hardly anything

Let me know how you get on when you study the leaflet

Yes, I see what you mean. One of my strides may be equivalent to two of my normal walking steps, so maybe I have marked my steps down. I shall need to read this properly tonight, thanks.

Another vote for the Omron pedometers - I really like mine.

I set my one up, but didn't do it very carefully. I just don't look at the distance and stick with the steps.

I'm not interested in the distance or calories, just the steps. I've now worked out my steps and now hubby wants to buy a pedometer so I have to work out his steps as well.
