I bought a pedometer yesterday after reading your posts, have walked the dog today and have hoovered etc. have clocked up 4,000 so far. Mine is from John Lewis, £18, made by Gaiam and called Walking Fit Kit with Debbie Rocker. Comes with Audio CD (not played yet!!) also has tiny light on it and a panic alarm! Seems easy to use so far to record steps, it will also tell me how far I have walked and how many calories burned, not really bothered about that part but would like to get fitter and thought this might encourage me to walk more. Will be good to keep this post going to see if we are all managing to walk more. Good luck girls.
