My iPod serves as my step counter. And I’m no where near 10,000 steps a day. Here’s my story.
I love the NPR show Fresh Air. My local public radio station doesn’t carry it, so I listen to the podcasts. Everytime I go for a walk, I play a Fresh Air podcast. Today is September 25. When I picked up my iPod for a walk this morning, I was ready to listen to a podcast from July 14. That means I’m over two months behind. Translated into exercise terms, it means I missed the daily walk so many times I really shouldn’t call it a daily walk.
There is no chance of skipping a podcast. Every one is too interesting to miss. My iPod is nagging me to be a healthier person.

I love this idea! I just can’t wait until I’m retired (exactly 8 months and 10 days) so I have more time to do this sort of thing.

Hey, Kalyn, I’m getting ready to head over to your site to find out how to cook an acorn squash someone gave me.
I’ve retired from teaching 3 times now.
I walk as much as I can every day and I track my steps by using pocket pedometers. I never thought of using my iPod as a pedometer. Walking is certainly in, and iPod is right on the track!

hi.. great post. I don’t see how you are using your ipod classic as a pedometer. Are you using an app or is there built in function? thanks.

Diego, I keep track of how often I actually go for a walk by seeing how far behind I am on listening to podcasts of “Fresh Air.” My iPod is not really counting my steps.
