Well apart from being jealous of all the pretty backs around here I'm doing ok lol... just did the dirty deed  it was fine (although I must admit I am only using little weights)... been in hystericals today over pedometers..... trying out 4 different versions... a wrist band a clip on and 2 phone apps and the differing amount of steps is simply hilarious.... ...... so I took the dogs for a walk but first wrote down the figures from each counter.... then checked how many steps each said I did on the dogs work.... well... apparently I walked 1970 steps... or 1478 steps or 2100 steps... or 2254 steps My niece says I should add all the counts together and say I had a really good day lol |

Well done Angela - I'm only using small weights as well, as it's all I have - and it was bad enough with those.
Yes pedometers give VERY variable results.
PS loving the new avatar!

I had just this conversation with SD1 last Friday - it's hilarious how they all read differently. I would pick the result I liked best & stick with that I think!

Hee Hee.... yes the difference was crazy lol... but I did a proper test today... walked 200 steps and then checked what each one had clocked up... one was only 120.... 2 came in at 155 and the cheap 3.99 argos one was almost spot on at 196.... Decided to use my facebook profile picture that's me and my love dove lol Save |

I managed to finally get round to starting this challenge today, even though I know it should have started yesterday. I hope it works as that was quite challenging! Xx

As this varies dependent on leg length, there may be a difference  xx |

Maybe they vary quite a lot in sensitivity? Either that, or they're possessed! Xx |
