In Love With My Omron Pedometer


"Omron's most technologically advanced pedometer, model HJ-720ITC, now includes Omron Health Management Software to help you track days, weeks, months and years of exercise. The pedometer measures steps, aerobic steps (10 minutes or more of continuous movement), calories and distance. Dual-Axis Pocket Pedometers feature advanced 2D Smart Sensor Technology, which enables the pedometer to be placed horizontally or vertically while accurately counting steps. The HJ-720ITC can be placed at the hip, in a pocket or clipped to a bag for added convenience."


I must say, I am totally enamoured of this pedometer! I was sick and tired of the pedometers I have not counting steps, dying a few days after I bought them, etc. So, I finally did some research and found this one to be one of the top ones out there. I love that it tells me calories burnt, aerobic exercise and the time. What's even better - I can wear this on my bra, clip it to my waist or even toss it in my pocket! Then, at the end of the evening, I just plug it in to my computer and it'll give me various forms of smiley faces, depending on whether or not I met my goals for the day!
As for my goals, I can set it up to let me know how close I was to my 10,000 steps a day, my 30 minutes aerobic walking, etc.
Plus, with the numbers so large on the display, not being in the 10,000 range will guilt me to walk a few extra steps, park further away from the grocery store, and decide to chase Miss Mia around the house when she's picking on the dog and cats.
I totally recommend saving up to buy this toy. It was one of my best Christmas gifts ever!
