A pedometer, also called step counter, is a small pager-type device which counts the number of steps taken by the wearer, or human body, during a specified time. It is usually worn at the waist or above the knee. A pedometer is used to measure everyday physical activity and motivates the person to perform a higher level of physical activity such as walking, running, and jogging. Pedometers can be analog devices, which measure steps, while some can be digital models that measure the distance covered and calories burned while performing any physical activity. Calorie counters are more expensive and less accurate. The pedometer records each step, which is recorded, by measuring the hip movement. Pedometers are always more accurate in recording fast walking than slow walking. A pedometer records all activities including running, walking, or climbing stairs. However, it counts the number of steps only, and not the intensity of those steps. Major physical activities where pedometers are used are walking, running, jogging, and climbing stairs.
