The holiday season is upon us, so let's be proactive and battle the constant temptations by committing to our exercise programs. I'm not much of a runner myself, but I do enjoy taking walks.

Researchers have found that those who clipped on this inexpensive step counter “increased their physical activity by more than 2,190 steps per day – a distance that adds up to more than a mile of extra walking.” However, please be advised that most of the success should be attributed to goal setting and using the pedometer as a way to measure one's behavioral change of increasing activity.
Read on to see why this is a worthwhile investment for your overall health...
