While you can buy expensive ...
The Omron HJ113 tracks your workouts with steps distance time calories you burn during walking. The Omron HJ113 has a dual display function that can show both the time and the number of steps simultaneously. Its memory function can store and show the data of seven days. Besides a regular step counter the Omron HJ113 also features an aerobic step counter which counts the number of steady steps. Steady or aerobic-steps is the physical exercise that helps us stay healthy. Steady steps are counted separately when walking more then 10 minutes successively. If a rest of less than 1 minute is taken after a continuous walk of more than 10 minutes this will be regarded as part of continuous (or aerobic or steady) walk.
