Researchers from Stanford Medical School found people who use a pedometer walk one mile farther than those who do not.

A bit more good news is that those wearing a pedometer tend to lose a few pounds of weight and lower their blood pressure. The pedometer is a small, inexpensive device that counts the number of steps walked per day.

According to a new Stanford University study that reviewed pedometer use and the results from 2,700 volunteers, patients with the simple device increased their physical activity by about 2,000 steps per day. That’s equal to walking a mile a day, or burning 100 calories.
