Pedometers

Be sure to calibrate your pedometers. There is a setting to set the stride(see directions that came with the pedometer, or below scan)I had not noticed but the default is set to 10". If you do not calibrate your pedometer, you will not get the proper credit for the distance you travel. We don't want to be short changed ;).

Let me know if you need any help setting up your pedometers.



Also, to clarify, you CAN wear your pedometer all day and get credit for the laps you make around the office, shopping etc... It will add up to our goal. It is all about encouraging physical activity. I can tell you I will be walking to lunch a bit. Also, they did change thecredits so all other excersize outside of walking or running now counts for 4 miles per hour.

In other news, I ordered my shirt today, I will take pictures when it arrives in a few weeks. Go Bolts!
