I received a nifty pedometer like the one pictured above from the amazing people at Omron to use and review last week, and I must say it has been a humbling experience. I wore it for 4 days last week (the days I didn't actually workout to see how much activity I get on my down days. I read somewhere that you should try to get in at least 10,000 steps a day and I just knew being a mother of 4 young children I must be getting that or somewhere close no problem ( in my mind I feel like I am always moving) nope, not even close for all four days that I wore it I got 14982 steps yep that's it. The closest I got was 6392 on the 2nd day. I am really glad I had the opportunity to review this product it has given me just one more way to challenge myself and work on increasing my activity. I has some really great features like:From the Website:
* Tri-axis acceleration sensor counts steps when used flat, horizontally and vertically
* Counts every step quietly and accurately
* Measures steps, moderate steps and minutes, distance
* Calculates calories burned
* Stores 7 days of information in memory
* Resets automatically at midnight so it's ready to go every morning
"The GOsmart™ Tri-Axis Pocket Pedometer (HJ-303) is simple to use and easy to set-up. Best of all, it works in any position. It’s the first GOsmart™ pedometer that accurately measures straight up and down, at an angle, on its side, and even completely flat."
When your trying to life a healthier and more active lifestyle great little gadgets like this add another way to broaden your range of information about yourself to help you achieve that. I am super impressed with the GoSmart HJ-303 Pedometer, I really like the amount of information it keeps and gives it is good to be able to see how many calories and miles I get in just going through my normal daily routine and adds some extra motivation to do a little more.

I want to win this for my mom-she is trying hard to lose weight and has been looking for a pedometer that is accurate and not noisey! Sounds like this one fits the bill.
Oh and I'm already a follower. :)
Well you see, I had a pedometer and it died. I have failed to invest in a new one so this would be great to win!

I have been looking to get a pedometer because I'd like to increase my steps as well, it's especially hard on rainy days when I'm at the computer all day!
And I'm a follower on my Google Reader :)
I would love to win a pedometer! My dad's company ran a contest where they all got one to track how much they move at work and he can't stop raving about it! And his isn't nearly as fancy as this one!
1. I'd love to win this because I need to know on my rest days (that I really take because of this!) I feel like I am doing nothing!!! I would be great to see what I am actually doing and set goals to do more!!
Great giveaway!! Lucky you!

3. Omron fan on facebook. Going to do...Omron Electronics?? done.
4. Linking you in my post today!
were those steps in addition to any running you did? i always thought the 10,000 steps were for ppl who were otherwise inactive but i could be completely wrong.
in any case i want it because i just love winning hahah. or maybe because i am a numbers crunching nerd and this would fuel my compulsion :)

I'd love to win this for my dad, who suffers from heart disease, Type diabetes, all the things I am running away from hopefully.
I think this would help him get out and walk more.

I would love to have a pedometer! Now you have me really curious if my down days are even close to 10,000 steps. I need to win it so I can find out. :)
I would LOVE to win! My pedometer is kind of noisy, the click-clack irritates me sometimes, especially at work!
I follow your blog!
I would love to see how many steps I get. It would probably be a really small number haha
I am a follower of you :)
Why would I like to win it? Because I love winning! It would be good to use during work to see how many steps I could take. Or I may give it to my mom as a motivator for her to lose some weight and adapt a healthier lifestyle.
