Omron HJ-151 Hip Pedometer for Aerobic Activity

Omron's HJ-151 Hip Pedometer is a great motivational tool to track your steps as you walk your way through the day, and towards greater fitness. The small device's simple operation is perfect for walking beginners, and it's a great tool to help you achieve a healthier, more active lifestyle. Whether your goal is to maintain or improve overall health, lose weight or get more energy in your daily life, physical activity is essential to staying healthy. At least 30 minutes of moderate exercise is recommended each day, and the HJ-151 pedometer separately displays the steps and minutes walked at a moderate pace. It also calculates calories burned and the distance traveled.

The sleek and small HJ-151 simply clips to your belt before you head out for a walk. Or, wear it throughout your busy day to find out just how much walking you're doing in a typical day of work, errands, and play. Note that the HJ-151 must be positioned correctly; it must be horizontal to the ground in order for the unit to function accurately. The device counts your steps and then saves the information for up to seven days, letting you review a full week of exercise. The HJ-151 resets its internal step counter at midnight automatically so it's ready to go every morning. An easy-to-read large display also features a clock so you've always got a timepiece at your side.

The HJ-151 is powered by a replaceable lithium battery (CR2032) that will last approximately one year when used for walking 10,000 steps a day.

Customer Review: Get Physical!
This is an excellent tool for becoming more active. I recommend it to many people to help realize how little they really move in a day. Then, it serves to help inspire self improvement in a few steps a day to a more acitve lifestyle. Ideally 10,000 steps. The clip holds well, rarely falling off you. There is no resetting like other pedometers since it has an internal clock and memory. Using the "moderate steps" is also a great way to get the cardio type activity for at least 30 minutes a day, which is a way to help your metabolism, blood pressure, weight loss, and hopefully preventing diabetes. I will jog in place folding laundry, waiting on kids, or anytime to try to get the 10,000 steps and/or 30 minutes a day. Then, my extra weight, comes off easily!
Customer Review: Great Pedometer
I really like this pedometer. It accurately counts my steps and I love that it has a battery save mode. The only problem is that it is very easy to lose.
