Track Your Steps and Servings |
 Keep track of your physical activity. We're not going to ask you to join a gym, or invest hundreds of dollars in fitness equipment. But we are going to ask you to keep track of how much you walk every day. Experts recommend that everyone take at least 10,000 steps each day. To make things easier on you we suggest using a pedometer to do the counting for you. Every morning, enter the number of steps you took the prior day on your Web page or Balance Book, and we'll show you how much closer you are to your goal. We also have some handy conversion charts to help you translate activities into steps.
