Get a Step Ahead with a Pedometer

Your wellness team at the Cliffs has known all along that wearing a pedometer makes you more mindful of your health and well-being and encourages you to get more out of each day, but we now have some research to back up our claim. A recent analysis of 26 research studies, reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that pedometer users walked about an extra mile a day on average and increased their activity by 27 percent. They also lost a little more weight and lowered their blood pressure over an average of 18 weeks. The studies also showed that it is good to have a goal, such as the 10,000 steps we advocate. If you are not used to walking that much, start slow with may 5,000 steps and add 1,000 to 2,000 steps a week until you achieve the you goal number of steps. Members may purchase pedometers at any of The Cliffs’ Wellness Centers.
