I’ve been using a pedometer to track how far I walk each day. Right now I’m walking about two miles a day. I will probably need to walk more if I want to walk for weight loss and not just for the exercise.

I had read recently that some pedometers are inaccurate because they may count sitting down as steps or some other movements might cause it to advance. I’ve driven my walking route to have a clear idea of how many far it is and just use the pedometer as a record. I do think my pedometer doesn’t measure properly. Of course that could be my stride and not the pedometer at all.

Either way I really don’t use the mileage on my pedometer for anything other than knowing that I did walk that day. If that changes then I will need to make sure I’m getting an accurate reading.
