The First Step to Health and Fitness - Special Offer
There's no need to waste £££s on unused gym membership...simply measuring your daily tally of steps is a great way to maintain a healthy lifestyle, says new Ramblers' Association health expert Dr David Ashton.
Researchers have now classified physical activity levels in adults into several grades. Healthy adults should aim to be in the Active or Highly Active category:
| Under 5,000 steps | Inactive / Sedentary |
| 5,000 - 7,499 steps | Low Active |
| 7,500 - 9,999 steps | Somewhat Active |
| Over 10,000 | Active |
| Over 12,500 | Highly Active |
By far the easiest way to monitor your daily walking is to use a pedometer. If you put it on when you get up and wear it until bedtime, you might be surprised to see how many (or how few!) steps you make in a day. It's also great to measure the number of steps you take during a weekend walk.
In scientific studies, the Yamax Digi-Walker pedometer is consistently shown to be one of the most accurate in the world. In fact, researchers at leading universities use Digi-Walker pedometers to provide reliable data for their clinical studies. Readers benefit from a special discount on two models:
