Hi Patsy well I have suggested the Omron, which I have had for 18 months and has been generally thrown about and still works really well. Just type Omron pedometer in to the search and there are quite a few options that come up. There are different Omron ones with differing features around, starting from around Ł15.00. Some come with a clip for your waistband and some don't, so make sure you get one with if you don't want to put in your pocket. Mine either lives in my pocket or bra and it does actually work pretty well in a handbag unbelievably. Besides counting the steps, it measure the mileage/kms you have done (will have to measure your stride length) calculates how many calories you have burned and has an aerobic count, which means you have to move for a minimum of 10 minutes constantly. If you ever see a mad woman marching up and down at traffic lights or hopping as she picks up doggy doo, don't try and pretend you don't know it's me, I'm just trying to keep the aerobic total going. I like to try and get an aerobic count of 7000 steps in which is about an hours walk.
