Wear your pedometer on its clip at your waist. Look for a model that is easy to read without having to remove it from your waistband, and be sure it's protected from accidental bumps, which can reset the pedometer. If you like to stay connected to your computer, then there are pedometer models that allow you to upload your walking data so that you can track your progress over a period of time. The graphs and charts will satisfy any data junkie!
