You now have two new habits: wearing your pedometer every day, and logging in your steps every day. I wish I could say that the pedometers were highly accurate. They are not. However, they provide a useful starting point for understanding how active you are from day to day.

Sometime in the next week or so, I would like for you to find out how accurate your particular pedometer is for your activity level.

1. Find a pathway that you walk frequently. A corridor in your house, or at work. 
2. See what your starting pedometer count is. 
3. Walk the pathway, and count how many steps you take. 
4. See what the difference is between your mental count and your pedometer count. 
5. Do this several times, over the week, so that you come up with an average. 

Good luck!
