Pedometer++ Software

I have multiple health issues that keep me tied to home pretty much 90% of the time. After numerous surgeries and over 35 years of battling chronic pain, the last thing that I want to do is exercise. On top of that, sunlight is not my friend! Because of one of my illnesses, I have to stay out of the sunlight completely. I have to keep my home very dark. I have to go out only after dark. So, needless to say, I was not getting very much exercise at all. Enter this this app ++ app into my life!! I have been using it for about 8 months now. I have a little path that I have created in my home that I walk in the mornings, evenings and during commercial breaks while I watch TV. I love how simple the app is but yet it gives you everything I need to feel motivated to do more. I’m not sure if if I’ll ever be able to walk or run a marathon, but I can definitely see a difference in my strength and stamina now. I definitely recommend this app for anyone who is looking for a good this app and especially for the elderly or medically challenged of any age (I’m 47) to get motivated to move more!!

I gave this app five stars because it and similar apps perform the critical function of keeping people aware of exercise to augment proper diet...both of which can and do contribute to good health and longer life! In other words, you either move or die. I am forever grateful for learning this as a young physician. My preferred form of exercise was once long distance running. But because I developed the bad habit of doing only right PLFs (parachute landing falls), I ended up needing a right hip replacement. And on one of my early jumps, I cracked the end of my left femur; so, I am now on the mend from a knee replacement. Now, a little over 2 months out, I am back up to walking 2-5 miles three or four times a week. There is still some minor pain, but every good PT or orthopedist will remind you “motion is lotion”! Even if walking isn’t your thing, get out there and just do something strenuous 3-4 x per week. Good Health to you all, Dr. Marshall Dressel, COL, USA (Retired)

I am now pretty active. That was not the case in the past. I’ve lost 55 pounds the last three years. I work out a few days a week and that is how I started losing the weight. I found this app a year ago and it has helped me to shed the last 20. It has helped me to stay accountable for my health and well being. Instead of sitting on the couch on my days off. I go for a walk, even if it’s for just a few blocks. I park farther from the store now. I do my shopping by my list from top to bottom instead of what is closer and I walk more at the store. At work instead of sitting for a break, I walk around the parking lot or building a few times. All this adds up through the day. If I’m close to my goal. I just take a few minutes to make sure I get there. Thank you for helping me get healthy!
