About the Program:

ClubPed was a simple, free online program from the American Diabetes Association to track your walking steps. It appears to have been discontinued in 2011.

Setting Your Walking Goals and Rewards:

Once you have joined, you select your walking goals. You can select walking three times or more a week and your step goal each time, you can set a total weekly step goal, or a step goal by a certain date. Then select your reward - you can keep your Virtual Dog healthy by logging your step goal, or you can be rewarded with a new chapter of an Evolving Story.

Logging Your Walks:

You can easily add your walking steps for today or for past days, and instantly it draws a graph showing your steps and your progress towards your selected goal. You can easily edit any day.

Join a Walking Group:

You can join a public group or create a private group. Join the Walking.about.com group by selecting it from the list (the drop down list is alphabetical) and entering the password About. The group total steps are then displayed when you select Walking Groups from your tracker page.

Bottom Line:

This is a very simple and easy to use online log. I like having a Virtual Dog - no shedding, although mine was nipping at a flea...
