Product Description: Omron® HJ-150 Pedometer

Increasing your activity level is a great way to improve your health and reduce stress, and every step counts. An accurate Omron Pedometer like the HJ-150 is a simple and easy-to-use motivational tool. The easy-to-read display also shows your steps over the past 7 days, so you can accurately track your progress. You can count on the HJ-150 to help you turn short-term goals into long-term gains for your health and wellness.

When You Know Your Numbers, You'll Grow Your Numbers.

You'd be surprised by how many steps you already take each day. A few hundred walking to the bus, a couple thousand going a few blocks down for lunch, and with an Omron Pedometer you'll know just how many steps you're taking and begin looking for ways to see that number get bigger every day.

Every Step Counts

Omron Pedometers use smart sensor technology rather than the standard pendulum system to get a more accurate reading.

The Omron HJ-150 Pedometer offers:

Omron Dual-Axis Technology—Counts steps accurately and quietly when used on the hip
Automatic Reset—Start with a clean slate each day to track your steps more accurately
Weekly Log—Store up to 7 days of information in memory; resets to zero at midnight so you're ready to go every morning

A few steps toward a healthier life

Walking is a great way to stay healthy. In fact, walking 10,000 steps a day is widely recommended by health and fitness professionals. And when you track your steps with a pedometer, like the Omron HJ-150, studies show you're likely to increase your total number of steps a day by about 2,000, or 1 mile.*

Getting Started

Warm Up First-Before your walk, stretch (arm circles, hip circles and leg lifts) to get your blood flowing and reduce the risk of injury.

Use a Pedometer—Omron Pedometers are the partners you can count on when you want to accurately track your daily routine and help you reach your recommended 10,000 daily steps.

Set Goals—Begin slowly and work your way up. By setting goals you'll push yourself farther and achieve more.

Mix It Up—Add variety to your routine by changing pace, walking uphill or just changing your route.

Add Resistance—Include some upper-body exercises as you walk, such as arm reaches or carrying water bottles in each hand to increase your calorie burn.

5.0 out of 5 stars What could be simpler?, July 11, 2007

This review is from: Omron HJ-150 Hip Pedometer (Health and Beauty)

This pedometer counts all the steps you take while walking at a moderate pace, during the course of one day. Pressing a button will display the number of steps you have walked so far on that day. Then at midnight it stores the total, and resets the count to zero, ready for the next day's walking. Pressing the button repeatedly will show how many steps you walked on each of the previous seven days. Setup is easy -- you only have to set the time of day. The instructions are confused on one point: when they say "The unit must be positioned horizontally . . ." they really mean vertically, the position it automatically assumes when clipped to your belt.

I see this item listed five times here, but this one is the only one that ships from and is sold by Amazon.com, and qualifies for Super Saver shipping.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect if you just want a step counter!, September 26, 2007

I've been walking for years and always on the lookout for a good pedometer. Most of them are either too complicated, too cheap or won't stay on my waist band. This one gets 5 stars from me in all areas, plus the numbers are large and easy to see. Though a bit more expensive, it's the perfect pedometer for people who just want to count steps!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, December 12, 2007

This review is from: Omron HJ-150 Hip Pedometer (Health and Beauty)

My pedometer worked fine for two weeks, and then stopped. The clock works, I've reset it, but for two days it did not reliably register steps. Now it doesn't register at all.

Omron will "fix" it for me, but the cost of shipping it to them and the return (they make you pay for it) is the same as the cost of a new unit.

Reading the reviews it seems some people love their units, but that this failure isn't unique.
