The 3 Best Pedometers According to the American College of Sports Medicine and Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, the most accurate digital pedometers are made by Yamax, Kenz, and New Lifestyles. A Kenz pedometer is not included in my recommendations list because they are very hard to find. Some pedometers do lose accuracy for obese individuals. If your BMI is greater than 25, the New-Lifestyles pedometer was found to be the most accurate. Please see recommendation #3 below. Pedometers can do a variety of things in addition to counting steps. They can measure distance walked for the day, week or year and calories burned. You may enjoy some of these extra features, but if you just want the basics, buy a pedometer that just counts steps. Research has shown that although pedometers can be very accurate in measuring steps, they are not as accurate in tracking distance and calories. One piece of advice – use the safety leash that comes with the pedometers. I read several reviews of people whose pedometers fell into the toilet and were therefore no longer usable! I checked several websites and picked the best pedometers based on accuracy, availability and price. Here are my recommendations for the best rated pedometers. 1. ACCUSPLIT Eagle 120XL Yamax pedometers can be hard to come by, but they license their technology to Accusplit, which is easier to find. This model is their best seller because of its accuracy, ease of use and its affordable price. The best price I found was on Amazon.com for less than $15. 2.New-Lifestyles SW Series Just a tad bit pricier than the Accusplit at $16.95, but very accurate and easy to use. 3.New-Lifestyles NL Series This is one of the most accurate pedometers available, but it is a bit pricier at $42.95 and the two models listed above are nearly as good for a lot less money. However, this model is the most accurate for those with a BMI over 25. What other items do you need for fitness walking? Read this article on the walking gear
