Conquer your inner demons with a pedometer on your feet.
People who wear a pedometer, a so-called pedometer, walk an average of two and a half thousand more steps. This could benefit people who know they should move more but struggle to overcome their inner demons.
This is the advice of the German pharmacy magazine Diabetiker Ratgeber. For a study at Stanford University in California, doctors tested the effects of wearing a pedometer. The results are astonishing. The participants walked an average of one kilometre more daily, lost weight, and improved their blood pressure. I can fully confirm this from my own running experience.
Perhaps you must be a bit of a "statistician" to let the numbers you read motivate you. I've noticed that if I set a specific limit, I can reach it more easily using a pedometer. These things don't cost much these days; mine was £ 9, and, as I said, it's worth it.
