I bought just a pedometer that you wear on your waistline from Meijer and wound up taking it back (@ $20), it was not accurate. What I've done now is with the car, I measured how far certain points are where I walk, so I know when I've walked a 1/2 mile or a mile, etc. I usually walk a mile to a mile and a half each night, then do that twice on the weekends . .. everyone is different. And when I started walking, I could only walk 1/4 mile . ..so do what you can do. Good luck!
