Use a Pedometer And Get Walking

It's been said that if we walk 10,000 steps every day, none of us would get fat. Well, that is unless you find a way to combine eating with walking, which many people probably do already. However, monitoring how many steps you take can significantly help speed up your weight loss by encouraging you to take those extra steps needed to reach the magic 10,000.

There are all sorts of pedometers on the market nowadays, from the basic step counting gadgets which are suitable for beginners to those which offer more in the way of functionality such as tracking your progress over time.
