download X2 Innovations presents the X2 3D Pedometer (Health-NewsWire.Net, June 30, 2015 ) Beaverton, Oregan -- The Department of Health and Human Sciences published guidelines recommending that adults take at least at least 30 minutes of exercise daily. With only 45% of Americans taking regular exercise, the potential health risks that this presents are increasing at an alarming rate, including heart disease, type-2 diabetes and osteoporosis to name just a few.
Walking is an activity that nearly anyone can do, both young and old alike and it has so many positive advantages. It's free, so there are no expensive gym memberships. It's outdoors, so lots of fresh air and sunshine which has many positive benefits providing adequate protection is taken. Walking can be an individual or group activity and can be done almost anywhere at any time, even during a lunch break.
Pedometers have been proven to increase physical activity following a study by Dena Bravata (MD,MS) at Stanford University School of Medicine where it was found that using a pedometer increased physical activity by 2000 steps a day.
Trials conducted on a total of 2,767 people using various walking activities, found that pedometer users increased their physical activity by 2,491 steps per day more than participants who did not use pedometers. Observation studies found that pedometer users increased their physical activity by 2,183 steps per day over baseline or around 1 mile of walking a day.
"Just over 2,100 steps might not sound that much, but it equates to a 27 percent increase in physical activity - which is really astounding," said Bravata.
The X2 Pedometer has built in 3D technology that accurately measures the steps taken whilst walking or jogging as well as monitoring calories burned and distance travelled. The goal setting function and 7 day memory allows the user to see progressive gains in fitness levels.
Wearable technology is becoming very popular with Pedometers and Activity Monitors leading this growing market. With so many fitness products available it is important to ensure that it meets the needs of the user, but is easy to use yet innovative in its design from a trusted brand.
X2 Innovations can help millions of Americans to achieve this to get them fit and healthy.
