Your Fat-Burning Tool Kit

Step Counter Not all step counters are created equal. Many are so inconsistent that you could have four of the same brand on your belt, and have four significantly different totals at day’s end—sometimes thousands of steps different. It helps to get guidance from a technical running store before buying. Price range for a reliable unit is usually $25-$35. Clip it on your belt and write down the total at the end of the day. Your goal is to register more than 10,000 a day. Every time you take a step, you’re burning calories. This instrument tells you how much you’re burning. There are a number of electronic devices, such as Fitbit that can wirelessly download your data to your computer for quick updates.
