Many members of the Weight Watcher program make use of a pedometer. As a non-member or a new member of the program, you may be wondering what a pedometer is. A pedometer is an electronic device that basically keeps track of all the steps you take in a day. This device is rather inexpensive and is about the size of a pager or small cell phone. Weight Watchers members use the pedometer to help them keep track of their daily progress, how many calories they have burned, and to stick to their daily workout routine and lose that extra weight (or keep that weight off).
The way a pedometer works is based on your hip movement throughout the day. Because it basically keeps track of how many miles you have walked (and calories burned) it may act as a motivational tool for those people using it to take a few extra steps or walk a little further throughout the day since it does show you your daily progress.
You may be wondering, “How do you set a Weight Watcher pedometer and how do I make the most of it?” First and foremost, read the directions. Next, you should set either daily or weekly goals. A good way to start is to set a base number of steps you would want to take in a given amount of time. To set this base number, all you need to do is clip on your new pedometer and wear it for a few days during your normal routine. During this time, you should not try to walk any extra steps or to work out more than usual. After a few days, simply calculate the average number of steps you took in a day and then add a little goal, say 100 extra steps, to your base. Each week, you can increase the number of steps for your goal, as you feel comfortable.
If you still are not sure exactly how to set up a Weight Watcher pedometer, you can do a search online. There are plenty of resources online and in the Weight Watchers community where you can find instructions, suggestions, and other members’ stories regarding their own experiences with their own pedometers. You can even take it to your next Weight Watchers meeting and discuss with your local group members. In discussing your new tool, you will find that hearing other people’s experiences will help inspire you.
