I need a device....

Uthinkso · 03-29-2007, 08:21 AM

I walk a ton at work, around the shop and all over. I'm curious if there is a device I could put in my pocket or some such thing that would record how much I am walking.

Does such a thing exist??

Yep...can probably find them at most fitness / sports stores:

You can get one a walmart for about 2 or 3 bucks.

the more you spend the more accurate it will be. I get free ones every so often and they usually only pick up every second or third step...

Make sure you get one that measures miles...some only do steps then you have to convert

oh shit....how many steps to a mile. I suppose that depends on the persons height and then stride distance as well. Oh boy this could involve math and formulas, two things I love.

I do my best to focus on the task at hand, and give 100% in what I'm doing at the time. Nothing else matters except the task at hand.
