Montreal, Quebec (PRWEB) October 15, 2004
In response to the growing awareness of the importance to live a healthy active lifestyle, Auto Control Medical, a distributor of home health monitoring technology, introduces the MyHealth X08 and XL15 Series of pedometers.
The 10,000 steps phenomenon, originally invented in Japan nearly 40 years ago, is based on a person walking 10,000 steps per day to achieve and develop their fitness levels. The average person takes about 2,300 to 3,000 steps daily according to a study by the American company Novartis Nutrition. Obesity has tripled over the last 20 years and continues to rise. Most adults in North America are now overweight, and one in five is obese. How can pedometers help?
Use a pedometer to measure your steps daily. Walking 10,000 steps a day, the equivalent of 6-7 kilometers, could be the key to reducing the obesity figure.
Wearing a pedometer is an easy way to track your steps each day. Put it on when you get up in the morning and wear it until bedtime. Record your daily steps in a log or notebook. By the end of the week, you will know your average daily steps. You will be surprised how many steps you get in each day.
Accuracy and ease of use are characteristic of both models in the series. Individually, each offers its own unique features to appeal to users of all ages and lifestyles.
The X08, with its modern transparent design will appeal to a younger audience, beginning fitness enthusiasts or athletes of all types who primarily desire simplicity. With step counter, distance counter, stride length input and a 12/24 hour clock, it is perfect for any situation, such as a morning walk, cardio-workout or simply to motivate us to walk more often and lead a more active lifestyle.
The XL15, preferable to users with increased fitness demands or those on health/weight regimens, has a large EZ-view flip down screen, step counter, distance counter, calorie counter, stride length input, body weight input and a clock in 12/24 hour format. Ergonomically designed and easy to use, the XL15 can be worn during regular daily activities or a marathon.
"The MyHealth X08 and XL15 pedometers are a valued addition to our product family," said Robert Burgy, Vice-President of Auto Control Medical. "People of all ages will be able to use the MyHealth X08 and XL15 pedometers to accurately monitor their activities and achieve their fitness goals."
