Fitness Begins At Home
A great thing about walking is that you can measure your progress. All you have to do is carry a little pedometer and it will measure the amount of steps you take each day. You can even compare your results with friends and family. Can you imgaine the fat burning benefits of competing over who has walked the most each day?
Medical News Today Report:
“Time is the number one cited barrier to physical activity, and that is no more apparent than in the all-too-often hectic family lifestyle.
Since physical activity starts at home, the inexpensive and portable pedometer lends itself to many creative activities that are designed to get the whole family up and moving.
For instance, in any given day, many steps can be accumulated while running errands.
Pedometers allow families to collectively gather and measure their levels of physical activity, then make appropriate lifestyle adjustments to maximize every step they take.”
Pedometers are relatively cheap - on average they range from $7 to $25, although you can pay extra for some really fancy features.
