A warm welcome to our friends from HEART UK !
As a regular walker, or as someone who is thinking about becoming one, you obviously want to achieve as
much enjoyment as possible from your chosen activity. There is no doubt that walking is an excellent form
of exercise which, as well as being natural and highly enjoyable, is associated with many positive health
benefits.
Exactly how much walking is needed for optimal health remains a subject of some debate, but there
is now an emerging expert consensus that an appropriate target is 10,000 steps per day. As a regular walker
you may be achieving this – perhaps a great deal more - during your weekend activities. But what
about the weekdays? Remember that the expert recommendation is for 10,000 steps every day. Are you
falling below the 10,000 steps a day threshold?
Why Use a Pedometer ?
To see whether you are achieving sufficient daily steps for health, why not invest in a Yamax
Digi-Walker pedometer ? It’s a great way to track your activities and
you may also find it interesting to see how many steps it takes to complete your favourite weekend walk.
And if you are looking for a goal beyond 10,000 steps a day, why not take up Wordworth’s Challenge?
Whatever your walking history or experience, a Digi-Walker pedometer is
a precision instrument which will add to your enjoyment – and your health! |
