It has been one full year now since I first strapped on a pedometer and started getting my 10,000 steps in a day. I'll be honest, at times it has been tough, but the rewards have been remarkable.I have no idea who first started the concept of getting in 10,000 steps a day as a way to get fit, but sometime in 2003 the idea started to get considerable press. Diabetes Destroyer Review The University of Minnesota thought so much of the idea that this year (2004) they passed out free pedometers to every single staff member of the University. I first read about 10,000 steps in a newspaper and then heard about it on the radio. I looked up pedometers on eBay and bought two step counters for five bucks each. I gave one of them to my wife who loved it but within a month had lost it.

I managed to hang onto mine and it worked perfectly for 11 months before it finally stopped working. These first step counters were mechanical and needed no batteries. You just clipped them on your belt, started walking, and they counted every step you took.I was in New York last month, to give a talk on Long Island, when my first stepper quit on me. I was one day without it and withdrawal symptoms were quickly setting in. I went to a Sportsmart and for $14.95 bought a digital replacement, the one that I'm wearing right now. It is a Sportsline 330 brand and it doesn't count calories or miles, just steps. But that's exactly what I want it to do.As I write this I have exactly 3,627 steps on my pedometer. This means that I have plenty of walking yet to do today, but I know that I'll do it.I am a writer; it's what I do for a living.
