Pedometers

[Desiree]

Can someone recommend a good one? I'm thinking of purchasing one this weekend. I'm going to start incorporating jogging into my cardio as well, but I would really like something that monitors heart rate also. Any pros/cons would be helpful too!

Thanks in advance!

Desiree, I have an Oregon Scientific PE316CA (you can see it at Amazon.com). It doesn't measure heart rate but it is a great accurate pedometer for counting steps. I had one and loved it, then DH ran over it (not on purpose - long story!). I bought another brand at Walmart - total junk!! Then I ordered an identical Oregon Scientific from Amazon and I love it just as much as the first one.

Best wishes on finding one that's right for you!

You can check out pedometers at www.pedometer.com just to get an idea of what's available and then shop around.

Thanks so much guys!

Bubie, Thanks for that link.. I'm going to check it out.

Doreen, how much did that one cost you? Can you get that specific brand only online or is it sold in athletic stores?

Desiree, I got mine from Amazon.com for about $15. I got the junk one at Walmart and spent $20. Go figure!

I didn't check at any sports type stores but Oregon Scientific is a pretty well-known name brand so I'd think you could get one there. Oregon Scientific has a whole line of pedometers.

Let us know what you get and if you like it!

I got the PE316FM one from Oregon Scientific and I LOVE MY NEW TOY!!!!! Wow it's wonderful! Now I've just got to figure out the sensitivity.

Desiree, I push it all the way left, and then 2 clicks to the right. You'll have to figure out what works for you. Set it and walk 100 steps, then check the pedometer to see how close it is to 100.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it!
