updated January 1, 2019<\/p>\n

What we call a fitness \/ activity tracker today began life a number of decades ago as the humble pedometer. And, for all the advances in tech gadgetry, sometimes you just need the basics. If you’re not interesting tracking your REM sleep or your exercise heart rate, then this article is for you. That’s because we are about to forget all the high tech bells and whistles and go in search of the best basic pedometer on 2019.<\/p>\n

What is a Pedometer?<\/span><\/h2>\n

A pedometer is a portable device that is capable of measuring the number of steps a person takes. It does this by monitoring the motion of either the hands or the hips. Modern pedometers are able to account for variation in stride distance to allow for a more accurate measure of steps taken.<\/p>\n

Pedometers may be worn on the belt or on the wrist. They are kept on all day in order to accumulate the daily steps taken. Pedometers are useful tools that act as motivators to encourage people to meet a daily stepping goal.<\/p>\n

​The often used bench-mark goal to achieve per day is 10,000 steps. This equates to 8 kilometers ( 5 miles). Walking at an average pace for 30 minutes will achieve an average of 3,500 steps. This means that a person will have to walk for about an hour and a half at a moderate pace in order to achieve the 10,000 step goal.<\/p>\n

Why are Pedometer Goals Based on 10,000 Steps?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Most pedometers will give you a default step goal of 10,000 steps. It’s a reasonable question to ask where this number came from. Is there some magic fat loss set point that you reach when you hit the 10000 step marker?<\/p>\n

​The 10,000 step goal originated with Japanese makers of pedometers who used it in their marketing campaigns to get people to buy their product. There was no scientific rationale behind the number; it just seemed like a realistic daily goal.<\/p>\n

​Since then, however researchers have taken up the challenge and looked into what constitutes a healthy daily movement goal. And what number did they come up with?<\/p>\n

​10,000 steps.<\/span><\/p>\n

​Now the American Heart Association uses the 10,000 step bench-mark as a recommendation to improve a person’s health and lower the risk of heart disease. The Surgeon General of the United States recommends that every person engage in a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise per day. 10,000 steps will achieve that and more. Unless a person has an extremely active lifestyle, it will require some considerable effort to achieve the 10,000 step (5 mile) during the course of the day. It may entail starting to walk to work or going for an after dinner walk in the evening.<\/p>\n

​In 2010 a study <\/a>was conducted to evaluate the beneficial effects of the 10,000 steps per day goal. Results showed that achieving this goal will lower your body mass index, reduce waist size, provide more energy, and lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.<\/p>\n
