More than ever before, we humans are being health conscious. With the rise in health diseases and premature deaths, the message of living healthy has never been shoved down our throats as much as it is today.
Besides smoking less and drinking less alcohol, more exercise is one of the key messages being promoted and rightly so!
Exercise makes you feel better, look better and live longer and one of the ways to make exercising less boring and more fun is by using a talking pedometer.
If you don't know what a pedometer is exactly it's a compact device that you can use while exercising (running, walking, etc) that displays a whole heap of useful data on a small LCD screen. Information such as the amount of calories you have burnt, distance traveled and even the number of steps you have taken is displayed, allowing you to keep track of your progress and giving you that extra incentive to beating your top workout score!
There are many types of pedometers they include GPS pedometers, Running Pedometers, Watch Pedometers and of course the type we are discussing now, talking pedometers.
The main feature that makes a pedometer a "talking pedometer" is the feature that allows it to talk out load telling you your results as you exercise along. This means you don't need to constantly stop and check your pedometer!
Some other interesting features of a talking pedometer include:
Backlit display
FM radio
Alarm Clock
Safety Alarm ( a button that alerts nearby people when you need help)
Melody Pacer (the pace of melodies change, going slow and fast depending on your movements)
As you can see what seemed a simple exercise device really has some amazing features but with everything there are different brands at different costs, so some features may not be present depending on the model you choose.
If you really are serious about keeping fit a talking pedometer comes highly recommended. It may be difficult to find an objective view online, so it's recommended you choose an online store like Amazon where you can find reviews before purchasing
