ARE YOU WALKING 15,000 STEPS A DAY??
That is the magic number to achieving a fit and healthy body.

How do you know how many steps you are taking?

The easiest way to determine if you are walking enough each day is to use a pedometer.
A pedometer is a popular tool for promoting daily exercise.

Did you know...
The average adult takes only 4,000 - 6,000 steps each day.

People who walk more are less likely to be obese.

The new MyPyramid guidelines for nutrition and physical activity suggest most adults receive health benefits if they are moderately active for at least 30 minutes on most days of the week. Walking is a simple, pleasurable and inexpensive way to be physically active.

Moderate levels of physical activity can boost your energy levels, plus give you an overall sense of well-being. Regular physical activity has these direct physical benefits:

• improves strength and endurance
• builds stronger bones and muscle
• assists in weight management
• improves blood pressure

Studies show that sedentary people who use pedometers to become more active often lose weight and increase protection against developing diabetes.

As you add steps to your daily life, you will be burning calories and increasing the demand upon your cardiovascular and musculoskeletal system. This improves health and physical function.

And if you are really ready to change, try incorporating some of my tasty and easy to

make recipes. I know you will love them - and your family will too!

My Pedometer is easy to use and can be worn throughout the day without much difficulty. (It clips on to your pants, belt, or skirt like a pager.) It will count ALL STEPS, not just the steps taken specifically for exercise.

Some of the features you will enjoy (besides counting steps) with my pedometer are:

• This is a talking, compact pedometer with an LCD screen
• Clock
• Alarm
• It will convert your steps to miles walked
• It will tell you how many calories you burned
• It has an ON/OFF music control while you are walking
• AND, it has a button to push that "TALKS" to you about how many steps you have walked!
  (So, you don't even have to read the screen!)
• Dimensions: 1-1/2" X 2-1/4" X 1"

I have never seen a better pedometer!

So, what are you waiting for? LET'S GET WALKING!!
