There is no one size fits all when it comes to developing a weight-loss plan. Everybody’s body is different, which means some are going to have more success with weight-loss programs than others. But one thing is for certain. You need to be active if you want to lose weight and get your health back. One way to do that is by gradually increasing the number of calories you burn everyday (and reducing your intake at the same time). That’s where pedometers come in. Using a pedometer can help you track your daily steps and calories you burn and help you stay on track.

If you are looking for a pedometer to keep track of your daily steps and the number of burned calories and don’t want to use iPhone pedometer apps to get the job done, these 6 affordable pedometers are worth a look:

Oregon Scientific Pedometer: can keep track of your activities and lets you access 7 days worth of stats at all times. It also comes with a timer clock and alarm.

SW-801 Yamax Digiwalker Pedometer: it’s an extremely accurate pedometer and is very compact as well. Great tool to have to track your daily workout.

Omron HIP Pedometer: it can keep track of the number of steps you take, the number of minutes you spend doing it, and the amount of calories you burn in the process. Very compact too. Lets you review your history for the previous 7 days.

If you have been following this blog for some time, you have probably seen all the exercise equipments that we have listed here. Exercising at home works for people who don’t have time to spend outdoors. But you do want to spend some time outdoors once in a while, as it’s not only good for your health but it’s more fun too. I don’t know about you, but I have never had as much fun as riding a bike through a park when exercising at home.

One of the best ways to make things more fun outdoors is by recording your activities and reviewing your videos to get a better sense of what you have gone through outdoors. That’s where action/sports cameras come in. They are super portable cameras that attach to your helmet or your clothes and let you record everything you see during your time outdoors. These cameras certainly add another fun element to your outdoors activities.

If you are looking for a sports camera to record your activities outdoors, here are 5 video cams that come handy:
