PEDOMETER Although the pedometer isn't exactly an ancient tool, it's been around for a few years - perhaps as early as the days of Kane & the wonderful old series, Kung Fu. Kane certainly looked healthy and they didn't call him Grasshopper for nothing. Yes, perhaps a pedometer was partially responsible for that. A pedometer will help you monitor your Personal Foot Traffic throughout the day. The best thing about a pedometer is that there is very little preparation time involved! Nothing to insert in your body, and nothing to remember throughout the day. This is a simple, humble, and effective diet/weight loss tool. Set your stride as directed in your mini-pedometer manual. Next, simply strap it on as you would a pair of sunglasses, only on your waistline area. My, don't you look sexy? Note: You may choose to conceal your Weapon of Massive Weight Loss Destruction (i.e. Pedometer). Do so by thinking smartly and placing it in an ingeniously concealed unsweaty area. OR, you may choose to flash it about. Most people assume that you are taking a medical test or that you have a pager. However you choose to wear your pedometer, wear it with confidence. Next, proceed along your day as NORMAL. At the end of the day, or throughout the day, check to see how far that you have walked. Target a specific distance that you'd like to set as a daily goal. For example, you might wish to walk 1 extra mile per day in order to assist in your weight loss success. So at the end of your 'NORMAL WALK DAY' simply tack one mile onto that and aim for that distance in the future. You'll find that it's very easy to get in that extra mile! IN SUMMARY Total fitness involves a bit more than 'just moving about'. Often times, you may hear The Medical World preaching about the benefits of aerobic exercise. In simple terms, what you want to do is to get your heart rate up - which among other things - strengthens the heart, the lungs, and muscles. And those new muscles will burn more calories than that old fat. One way to accomplish getting the heart rate up, is a solid 10 - 15 minute walk. Do this 3 - 4 times a week and you'll do your body good - just like milk does! Navigate this article below:
