Physical activity is essential to staying healthy, and every small step can lead to big improvements. An accurate Omron Pedometer like the HJ-151 is a partner that motivates you to take those extra steps toward better health and increased energy. Just clip it to your hip and it accurately counts every step, using Omron's renowned accelerometer technology. The HJ-151 pedometer is specially designed for power walking and aerobic exercise. It counts your moderate (i.e., "brisk") steps separately from normal walking steps, as well as the distance and time you've traveled, giving you more information about your overall activity level.
You'd be surprised by how many steps you already take each day. A few hundred walking to the bus, a couple thousand going a few blocks down for lunch, and with an Omron Pedometer you'll know just how many steps you're taking and begin looking for ways to see that number get bigger every day.
Omron Pedometers use smart sensor technology rather than the standard pendulum system to get a more accurate reading.

Walking is a great way to stay healthy. In fact, walking 10,000 steps a day is widely recommended by health and fitness professionals. And when you track your steps with a pedometer, like the Omron HJ-151, studies show you're likely to increase your total number of steps a day by about 2,000, or 1 mile.*
Warm Up First-Before your walk, stretch (arm circles, hip circles and leg lifts) to get your blood flowing and reduce the risk of injury.
Use a Pedometer—Omron Pedometers are the partners you can count on when you want to accurately track your daily routine and help you reach your recommended 10,000 daily steps.
Set Goals—Begin slowly and work your way up. By setting goals you'll push yourself farther and achieve more.
Mix It Up—Add variety to your routine by changing pace, walking uphill or just changing your route.
Add Resistance—Include some upper-body exercises as you walk, such as arm reaches or carrying water bottles in each hand to increase your calorie burn.
