It's nothing fancy, but it was free. It was one of the rewards available through our credit card points. We figured it would come in handy on our runs.
Did I mention that it was free?
I tried it out today while doing Burn it Up.
According to my little pedometer, I took 566 steps during my workout.
Not too shabby, considering they were all taken in the space between my recliner and my tv stand.
I also traveled a distance of 0.21 miles.
Huh. Interesting.
I also burned a total of 24.4 calories.
Really?
24.4?
There is no way that can be right.
24.4?
I really feel like I burned at least 237 calories during the lunge portion alone.
Do you have a pedometer/calorie counter? What role does it play in your exercise routine? Do you think 24.4 is accurate?
Remember that I did like a hundred lunges.
Two hundred squats.
Just saying.

Thought for the day:
I just burned 327 calories typing this post. Maybe I need a new pedometer.
I don't use a pedometer. I think they are less than accurate so I never took the time to buy one. My grandmother wears one all the time, however. She loves it.
