Your Best Weight Loss Plan - Use A Pedometer

Here's a secret strategy for the best weight loss plan possible - use a pedometer!

Researchers are in agreement that the best weight loss plan in addition to eating a healthy diet is to increase your activity! Sounds simple doesn't it? The truth is as we all know in the busyness of our lives, going to the gym, lifting weights, taking an aerobics class...these activities sound great but we don't do them. At least we don't do them forever. We can be desperate to lose weight and we can have the best of intentions taking classes, even lifting weights at home but how many of us keep it up?

No, the key to permanent fat loss is living as though you are already at your ideal goal weight and that means putting more activity into what you are already doing. The best weight loss plan means adopting the activity as a permanent part of your life. How to do that? The most effective, the most efficient and the least complicated way to become more active is to wear a pedometer every day!

Pedometers Are Motivating....Try it!

A pedometer is an activity monitor you can attach to the waist of your clothes that tracks every step you take during the day. What a reality check! I thought I was an active person but I found the first day I wore one without doing any extra exercise that I was only getting 3500 steps. This is considered sedentary and it is what the average person gets who doesn't get enough physical activity. Then I added my 20 minute power walk which I gradually increased to an hour and found that I could get 7,000 to 10,000 steps. It is very motivating to wear a "clicker" and I find myself checking it often, determined to meet my daily activity goals. Physical activity is the key to lifelong health, longevity, and it is a significant piece of the best weight loss plan.

Pedometer Instructions

You are probably wondering how does a pedometer work? It is run by a battery which comes with it (plus one spare) and has a life of 2 - 4 years. It is easily attached to the waistband of your pants. To get the most accurate readings you must wear it snugly in an upright position, parallel to the ground. You will first get a baseline for yourself and then you can gradually add steps. You can do this in all sorts of ways like pacing while you're talking on the phone, using stairs at every opportunity, walking back and forth while waiting and adding more fun, easy physical activities to your day. Studies have shown that if you record and graph your behavior you can change it. If you order the clicker kit below the helpful checkbook gives you extensive pedometer instructions, click equivalent charts for all sorts of physical activities and many more helpful hints and ideas to support your best weight loss plan.
