A pedometer is a step counter device that counts each step a person makes. It has now become popular since this is now used by many people as an everyday exerciser and motivator. A total of 10,000 steps per day (equivalent to 5 miles or 8 km) are recommended by some to be the benchmark for an active lifestyle, although this point is debated among experts.
As I was cleaning the house today, I remembered the pedometer mom gave me. So, I put it on my hips (as stated in the instruction given) and started walking and moving around the house, at the same time doing my cleaning stuff. As I was moving around the house, I realized that I haven’t done physical exercise for such a long time, and this made me more motivated to really pour out my energy … (naning kaau! lol) After a few minutes, I tried to check my pedometer and see how many steps I have completed. As I look at the pedometer I was really surprised… it has recorded only 8 steps.. Whaaaaat??? How come? What happened? … I asked my husband to check if there is any faulty on it…
