Want an easy way to walk more? Try a pedometer. A new study shows that people who use pedometers walk much farther than people who don't.
A pedometer clips onto your belt and tracks how many steps you take each day. At the end of the day, you simply look at the digital display and see how many steps you have taken.
The study, published in this month's Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, found that overweight, inactive women did better when they were given a pedometer and told to take 10,000 steps, compared to women who were given a sealed pedometer and told to walk for thirty minutes.
When women could count their steps using the pedometer, they not only met the goal, they walked an average of 2,000 steps extra on days they went on walks. And on other days, they still walked more than they usually did. Women who couldn't see their pedometer's display did go on the 30 minute walk sometimes, but when they didn't, they weren't as active as the other women.
Write it down – jot down the number of steps you've taken during the day and you'll have a record of how far you really are walking every day. Even on un-energetic days, you'll see your past successes down on paper.
Notice those steps – you may be surprised to see how many steps you take running an errand, strolling through a store, or even walking to the mailbox. Notice how many steps you take doing everyday things and you'll stay motivated.

If you’re young at heart, your heart might be younger than you realize. A new study shows that athletic older adults have young, flexible hearts – with about half the stiffness of sedentary adult’s hearts. Exercise seems to be the fountain of youth for the heart – it can actually keep heart muscles flexible, which reduces the risk of heart failure. And since heart failure is the number one cause of hospitalizations for people over 65, this is important news.
In the study, the hearts of nationally-ranked senior athletes were so healthy, researchers couldn’t tell them apart from young people – the athletic senior hearts pumped as well as the hearts of healthy people half their age.
The study, published in the September 2004 issue of Circulation, a journal of the American Heart Association, compared senior athletes (average age 68) with sedentary seniors, and young sedentary adults. Researchers found that activity influenced heart health, even for older adults.
Walk - a stroll around the block is great exercise and fun too! Clip a pedometer on your belt and see how quickly those steps add up to better health.
Dance – silly or serious, it gets your heart pumping. Put on your favorite song at home, or go to a social dancing event.
Swim – if there’s an indoor pool near by, splash your way to health. You don’t need to be a perfect dolphin-like swimmer, just enjoy moving.

If you can’t seem to get off the couch and start exercising, ask yourself if one of these exercise barriers is holding you back.
All or nothing – if you’re an “all or nothing” thinker, you may put off exercising until you have plenty of time, no distractions, or can afford the perfect running shoes. Remember, you don’t have to endure an uninterrupted hour of exercise to benefit. Take the stairs, park farther away, or even squeeze in a mini-workout before dinner. Short workouts do add up to greater health and well being, sooner than you may realize. Try wearing a pedometer and see how quickly everyday steps can add up.
In a bad habit – exercise is a habit like any other. If you’re in the habit of spending your free time on the couch, it will be difficult to change your routine. Luckily, habits can be broken and once you learn a new way to do things, you’ll likely find your new habit easy to stick with. All it takes is going on an evening walk, enjoying a dance class, or getting involved in a sports team you enjoy. Before you know it, your bad habits can be changed to a lifestyle that leads you right to your goals.
The wrong fuel – though it takes time to build up your exercise endurance, if you’re not sticking to your routine or seeing results, you may be eating the wrong foods and starving your body of good exercise nutrition. Make a point to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. Taking a daily multivitamin and energy supplement may also help increase your energy while you exercise. Remember, a diet of fast food, chips, donuts, soda pop and cookies will not help your body stay healthy and energized during exercise, compared to a healthier diet.
Unhelpful people – if the people closest to you don’t share your exercise and health goals, it can be hard to change your routine, especially if you spend a lot of time with people who enjoy foods and activities that make staying healthy difficult. If you’ve tried to explain the importance of health and wellness and it doesn’t help, focus on finding exercise buddies and people to help support your goals.

Did you know that the simple act of walking benefits your body in incredible ways? This low-impact activity reduces your risk of the number one cause of death in the United States – heart disease. It also helps prevent: high blood pressure, stroke, cancer and diabetes.
- Reduce the risk of nerve damage in diabetics – only 6.5% of walkers had nerve damage, compared with 30% of non-walkers.
- Prevent hip fractures in postmenopausal women – just 30 minutes a day reduces risk by 40%.
- Reduce the risk of stroke in women – experts suspect this is due to maintaining healthy weight, keeping blood pressure at a healthy level, and increasing “good” HDL cholesterol.
To get started, take a stroll through a local park, nature trail, or just step outside and meander through your neighborhood. If the weather is too chilly, try walking around your local mall – many malls offer walking programs which meet before the mall opens – you can meet new friends, exercise and window-shop all at the same time!
Tip: If walking for 30 minutes, 5 days a week sounds challenging, start by walking for one minute a day. Each day, add one minute to your walk – in only 30 days you’ll be walking for 30 minutes! And don’t forget, those little steps you take every day add up – walking to the mailbox, cleaning the house, even walking around the grocery store – use a pedometer to see how quickly little steps add up to big results.
Count every step towards your health goals with TriVita’s easy-to-read pedometer.
