My brother-in-law is training to run a marathon. He is just one of many people that are either challenging themselves by training for a very physical event … or those who just want to get moving more as part of a healthier lifestyle by walking or jogging. Studies have shown that exercisers who wear a pedometer consistently take more steps than those who do not. Now everyone can put themselves to the ultimate walking test: Can they walk a marathon?
The Oregon Scientific Marathon Pedometer lets them track steps or distance, and see how long it takes them to complete the challenge. You can even discover how many calories you are burning.
The complete list of features are:
- Pedometer with clock, step counter, distance/calories calculations and count-down/up functions
- Enable one-day daily memory of steps, calories, and distance
- Estimated target finish time display
- EL backlight
All of these features can be used, whether you wear their pedometer around your neck, clipped to a purse, or secured to a shoe. It’s a great gift idea for any health nut or someone who just wants to get more physically fit.

Unlike your brother, I’m no where near the level of a marathon runner…but I am in a running group and want to improve. I’d LOVE to try one of Oregon Scientific’s heart rate monitors. Acording to their site, it monitors “heart rate, speed, distance, calories burned, percentage of fat burned, and time elapsed.” Percentage of fat burned??? I AM ON IT.
Yes, PLEASE.

I entered the Elfing Around Review & Giveaway at As They Grow Ups “Hoo-Hoo-Hooliday Gift Guide” (in addition to her regular Pulse Yoga giveaway!) It’s all about having the healthies of years in 2010!
I left a comment on your American Girl review (giving you my two cents on why I think these dolls are exceptional). I know it’s not on your Holiday Gift Guide, but I entered your P90X giveaway too. That contest of yours is a NAIL BITER!! I am willing to go mano-a-mano (or in this case, woman to woman!) for that set.
I like the Heart Rate Monitor for Speed and Distance.
The Elements Atomic Projection Alarm Clock sounds neat!
