I know quite a few people who’ve gotten and started using pedometers in the last year. It makes keeping track of how far you’ve walked in a day easy, and it’s fun to think of all those steps you take at work (or at least in the parking lot walking into work) as a means toward a goal. A pedometer itself isn’t very motivating though. If you want something a little more interactive (i.e. something that speaks your results to you), you could check out a talking pedometer.
The one shown here literally tells you the distance you’ve walked and the number of steps you’ve taken. It also has 7 built in melodies with different tempos it can play to help motivate you to pick up your feet. Remember, the more steps you talk the more calories you can burn, so this is a good gift for a dieting friend.
