Increase Fitness - Use A Pedometer

Are you looking for a simple way to increase your physical activity? Well, a tiny, inexpensive gadget might just be the key. Consider hooking yourself up to a pedometer.

By now you most likely know the benefits of consistent, moderate exercise. For most of us, weight control is high on our list. But there are many more reasons to get moving. You’ll reduce your risk of:

• Heart disease
• High blood pressure
• Type 2 diabetes
• Osteoporosis
• Certain cancers

Symptoms of depression and anxiety often improve with consistent, moderate exercise.

But hey, you just don’t have time, right? Well, simply increasing the number of steps you take each day will put you well on your way to greater health. You may have heard of the “10,000 steps a day” campaign. Studies reveal this is the minimum level of daily activity for enhanced long-term health.

Just strap on your pedometer and you’re good to go! You’ll be amazed at the motivation this little instrument provides.
