The Tools
A walking program should always rely on the use of tools that monitors activities and provide feedback. This “50 Million Steps” campaign relies on the use of a pedometer, a heart rate monitor and the Internet as tool for success. In particular the campaign relies on the use of any pedometer, the Polar F11 Heart Rate monitor, LiveWisely 2020 (www.livewisely2020.org/community), Twitter (www.twitter.com/livewisely2020) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/livewisely2020) as excellent tools that allows participants to easily monitor their activities and follow up with each other during the day. They are proven motivational tools.
The Polar F11 Heart Rate Monitor measures your heart rate, tracks your caloric expenditure, measures your current fitness level and provides a complete guidance and feedback on your progress. The pedometer accurately tracks Distance (mi) in km/miles, calculates total Distance (mi) traveled, number of steps taken and measures time and calories burned.
