Guide Review - FitLinq Pedometer

If you want to increase your walking steps each day, this four-function pedometer will help keep you moving. It counts steps, and you just hit the reset button when you want to reset it to zero. By entering your weight and stride length, it also calculates distance and calories burned. I found it easy to set. The flip case prevents you from accidentally resetting it - a problem with other pedometers without protected buttons. It clips to your waistline and you can wear it comfortably all day. I highly recommend getting it with the security strap. I tested is vs. the most accurate pedometer on the market and it compared very well.
