Project pedometer - how active am I?
10-03-2009 14:17:29
This week I will try test my walking activity, so I have brought
two different pedometers to count my steps, and why did i buy two?,
just to test the accurancy, I will make an avarage by both of them
to compare with.
I did start yesterday, and my test will end sunday at midnight.
In this periode I can create a graph of my week activities, and I
shall try describe my day by making a list of keywords.
After a small research on the net, I did find little more
information about pedometers, I could through this page (http://walking.about.com/cs/measure/a/locke122004.htm)
to see what targets i might have and how many steps that were
recommended for my age.
Here is the goals from the website i just linked too.
Step counters - Count information
Classification of pedometer-determined physical activity in
healthy adults..
1 - Under 5000 steps/day may be used as a
"sedentary lifestyle index".
2 - 5,000-7,499 steps/day is typical of daily
activity excluding sports/exercise "low active".
3 - 7,500-9,999 likely includes some exercise or
walking.
4 - 10,000 steps day indicates the point that
should be used to classify individuals as "active".
5 - Individuals who take more than 12,500
steps/day are likely to be classified as "highly active".

Since wednesday (11/03-08) i did choosen not the use the
black edition, since it started not to count currectly, I think
it's the battery.. Thank you China, for not sending it, with a
fresh battery!
Test done
Actually it's quite funny to see the results, I thought i was
more active, but it was a quite bad week, some bad news did came
up, and some of my plans did not happend. Anyway the keywords is
also just a quick information for you, because otherwise I look
very lazy, but I'm not ;)... Got many activities and things to do
each day, but would take to much place to write it all into each
day.
Pedometer activity test graph
I really hope that I have inspired other people to try create
this test by them self, and write about it, it's funny to see the
different, between other activities. But remember, no weeks are the
same, that's a good thing, but that's why you just can use it as a
guideline, or you could mount it to your body and collect the data
of your activity for a hole year ;)
Good luck testing it!
