One of the first things I did was to get into a weight loss program, including going to group meetings. The first day we were given literature and the neatest little tool – a pedometer. Well, the pedometer was not a really good one, and I never really trusted it. But, the basic concept was working. I saw how little I was walking. I work in an office, so I don’t get around much, but I had no idea I was so sedentary.

I decided that, since walking is a really good way to burn calories, and it’s good cardiovascular exercise, that I wanted a better pedometer. And then, to speed up the decision, I somehow managed to lose the one I was given. And then I ordered my Omron HJ-112. I figured with all the excellent reviews, this had to be a great device.

I’ve had it now for a week, and I love it. I like that it keeps a week’s worth of data. It has been very accurate as to the number of steps. My first one, after walking 50 steps was off as much as 10%. If I tried to adjust the sensitivity, I couldn’t get it any closer than 10%. My HJ-112 counts 50 steps when I walk 50. The most steps I’ve confirmed with a count were 75, and it was dead on.

I read reviews that said when driving, it can add steps. Well, that may be. I did pick up 6 steps on my drive to work one day, but I hit a couple of pot holes that may have done the trick. I also ride a Harley Davidson, and riding it to work one day, no extra steps were counted. I avoided pot holes on that trip. The next time I drove, I took the ped off my belt, set it on my lap, and no extra steps. To be honest, I’m no
