Slim Step pedometer plus bodyfat %

I have owned 3 of these over the last 4 years. I don't leave home without it. I have gotten so used to wearing it, I unfortunately went for a swim in the lake with it still on my waist. Only drawback - not waterproof lol! I then lost the second model and am now on my third and, hopefully, last.

I wanted a pedometer that would accurately display my everyday activities while working in a physical job that doesn't translate well to traditional 'steps'. This does the trick. It tracks motion both up and down and laterally. So, my bending and reaching and walking up and down stairs at work get picked up by the SlimStep whereas a traditional pedometer won't catch all the more subtle movements.

It also has a bodyfat measurement feature. I find it to be way more accurate than my step-on body fat scale at home. It then uses your bodyfat reading, along with sex, age, weight, and height, to determine a weight loss course of action for you. For example: if I weigh 119 and my fat% is 22.5 it will suggest walking off 170 calories per day for 30 days. (I wish this feature were more customizable. It always wants to get me to 21% bodyfat but that is not my personal goal. That's a small gripe, though.) So, I don't really utilize the suggested weight loss course feature, but do measure my bodyfat regularly to note trends up or down.

As with most pedometers today, it scrolls between steps, calories burned, and miles on the display. I would buy it just for its ability to detect motion beyond forward steps, but the bodyfat measurement is a bonus I use all the time. I truly never leave home without it!

Using SlimStep is easy! First, enter your sex, age, height, and weight so that the computer can determine your body type profile. Now you're ready to make a measurement. Hopld the SlimStep at arms length and press the "START" key. A tiny electrical signal measures your body impedance and within seconds your body fat percentage is computed. The LCD displays your resulets, along with your Basal Metabolic Rate (daily calorie intake), suggested fat% and weight loss. You can then use the built-in activity monitor to measure and track your activity level. Staying in shape has never been easier!
