I hear brisk walking is considered aerobic steps. Does it tell you the normal steps vs brisk walking or combines them both?

It records aerobic steps when you walk at a pace of 60 steps per minute or greater for at least 10 minutes. These steps are also included in the total steps displayed as well as being displayed as aerobic steps.

Bought this for my husband and he uses it, but the pedometer does give a report of aerobic steps.

My omron measures both steps and aerobic steps. Don't often walk fast enough for aerobic however.

I always use the mile counter although you could use the Aerobic Steps or Steps Per Minute modes.

Depends on how you set the pedometer up. The one's we set up are for steps only. If you set it up for aerobic it will probably do both. Great pedometer. I ordered at least 50 for our senior group, who are in a little step/walking competition.

Yes - walking climbing, steps, treadmill - and probably pull-ups too! Difficult to set and change modes - buttons on reverse side from screen, small, and placed too close together.

I just noticed that when I do a Leslie Sansone aerobic 3 mile video it only tracks 1.7 miles. I am busy moving the whole 45 minutes so I am under the assumption that side steps or a side to side movement or a high knee march must not be counted. I just about lost it yesterday I had it on my shoe and when I looked down I only had the clip. Enjoy your dancing, your having fun and moving which is the point.

You can manually add the amount of minutes of your activity (walking at a brisk pace eg.), but not the number of steps or miles. You can convert the number of miles you walk into minutes depending on your pace if you have to. I wear mine 24-7 clipped to a pocket, waistband or my bra so I'm never without it except when I swim or bathe.

It walks even but I would get the one without the air pump. I had borrowed a non pump one while waiting for this one and found the non pump easier to walk in, it is less bulky. If you have never walked in a regular one you may not notice the difference.

Hey man, I understand your sentiment completely. I have the same problem. Our of all her workouts, this is the one you'll havethe least problems with. There are only 2 cardio workouts that involve a lot of movement. This workout is prefect of you don't want to cause a disturbance. Just don't abruptly drop your heavy weights (but you shouldn't do that anyway). But seriously- don't worry about it. This is a perfect solution for your issue. (I'm also not paid to say any of this if anyone was wondering. I swear by this workout)

Pretty much the same as you do walking, jogging, or running. The stride is determined by how far you step forward (or in reverse), or no stride if you choose. It takes some getting used to but I really like to change-up. I use this unit every day and have for the past 2-years.

No, just walking. If used for dancing uYou have to reset your step distance, which is easy enough.

I think the methodology it uses to track steps is not from the movement of your foot. It may be wrist action or something to that affect. I just got the foot pod, and I did notice that it is accurate if you are running on an indoor track, but not very accurate on a treadmill. It may be user error though. I'm going to have my husband re-look at it and make sure it's set up correctly.

It would depend on what you Consider Strengthening Muscles. I take brisk walks daily except in inclement weather. That's when I use my glider. I can't say it is any different than walking. You can go fast or slow. Same as walking. If you don't already walk (I go minimum 3 miles) then I would say you will Lose weight And Gain muscle. If you already walk it will keep you from going backward during the wintermonths.. but like anything else. It's NOT a quick fix and you have to keep at it.

Almost all movement. Not just your arm movement when sitting at. Deak, but when you're in motion, it know. It definitely counts walking at a slow pace but I do not see it counting yoga.

We just walk, but my best guess is that light, slower jogging would be fine. I agree with both of the other comments.

Tina, My understanding is that it doesn't matter how slow you walk, but the steps you take. One needs to "set" their walking pace (and the instructions should explain how to do that) and then the pedometer measures your steps, calories burned, steps taken, and aerobic steps taken. I believe that one has to walk so many steps before the aerobic measurement kicks in.I have had several Omron pedometers and I wouldn't used another brand!I hope this helps!! Kelly

Yes, although you may have to "reclassify" what the activity actually is. Sometimes you need to reclassify -sometimes it reads my elliptical or stationary bike as a "walking event" instead of elliptical or cycling, but that may have something to do with the action of my foot.

It does count your steps accurately. As long as you are in a walking motion, it will count it. Anything over 10 minutes of continuous walking counts as aerobic. We love ours and would recommend purchasing. Have never had a more reliable pedometer.

The aerobic steps are a subset of the total steps. The pedometer gives you a total step count, calories, distance, and aerobic steps...steps you have walked continuously without stopping after 10 minutes of movement. When I do a 3 mile walk or go to the gym, my daily total might be 15,000 steps with 7,000 of those aerobic and 8,000 around the house, grocery shopping, etc. The pedometer shows the 15,000 total, 7,000 aerobic, x miles, y calories. I don't have to add anything up...just look at the display.

As long as your dancing is over 10 minutes, then it counts as a workout. You need to go to the workout menu and pick out the activity that matches your workout. I usually use the high impact aerobics and it works for me. There are plenty of choices for activities so one of them should fit your needs. Hope this helps!
