Physical Activity Guidelines suggest that adults benefit substantially from
just two and a half hours a week of moderate aerobic activity like brisk walking.
A pedometer makes tracking your walks easier and more fun, and people who track
their exercise are more likely to stay on target.
Make it simple.
Tracking’s easy with this HealthVault-compatible device. Once you’ve set up HealthVault Connection Center (System Requirements), just plug in this device and your activity will be sent to your HealthVault record. No manual data entry!
Note: While all pedometer data is stored in HealthVault, only total miles and
total aerobic minutes can be viewed in HealthVault and Route Tracker.
Already have a pedometer?
You can use a pedometer you already own—you’ll just need to enter your data manually.
Food can be friend or foe, but can’t be avoided—we all eat. Make food work for you
by developing a healthy eating plan.
