AT PACIFIC RIM WELLNESS we are absolutely committed to walking programs since the research literature is overwhelming in its praise for this everyday, simple act of motion. Consider these few thoughts:

“Walking may be as close to a magic bullet as you'll find in modern medicine. If there was a pill that could lower the risk of chronic disease like walking does, people would be clamouring for it.”
  Dr. JoAnn Manson, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School

“The health benefits of walking are astonishing. They begin with stress reduction and include a reduction in the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, stroke and breast or colon cancer. Some experts say walking relieves constipation and cures impotence. At the very least, it makes you stronger, better looking and — best of all — more aerobically fit.” Cleveland Clinic’s Health Extra

“What gets measured, gets done.” Tom Peters

Believing that it is not enough to have good intentions, our exceptional H-215 Stepwell pedometers (now in four models) will be the ‘conscience on your hip’ and will help you attain the medically recommended 10,000 daily steps.

Please peruse the following for more information on any of our pedometers or walking programs.

Choosing a Pedometer Research suggests that 10,000 steps a day (about 5 miles, or 8 km) is a great goal for health maintenance and involves, for the average sedentary person, about one hour of walking beyond the daily demands of home and work.
