Got walking stats

Today I blog about my new Omron Model HJ-151 Pedometer.

My chiropractor said yesterday that I was looking good, and I showed him my new gadget. The best thing about it is that it's got a memory, and lets you see your progress day to day, and the moderate steps vs. calories, really gets you to think about your walking ad how much you're exercising. Anything that can get us to think more about our health is a good thing.

Plus it's neat to try and estimate distances, and then check against the pedometer. For example, I now know that my typical car parking spot is about 250 steps from my office, and a walk around the block the office is on is just short of 1000 steps. So if I went out and circled the block just 10 times, I'd be close to the goal of 10,000 steps a day.

I'll track my progress on the page about the pedometer.
