The Pedometer SL is an advance mobile phone pedometer that uses the SmartStep© technology to accurately calculate your daily workouts.
Never miss a run again!
Features:
- Overall workout statistics
- Normal / Goal workout
- Workout History
- Share, post to Facebook, Twitter
- Track workout route
- Build in music player
- Voice notifications
- GPS position filtering
- Accelerometer filtering
- SmartStep© detector technology
- User profile
- BMI Calculator
The app keeps stats on:
Duration
Calories
Steps
Distance
Average Speed
Important information before first use:
The Pedometer SL uses the accelerometer on the phone.
While this makes it much more accurate than using the GPS points to calculate the statistics, some setup is required by the user to make it accurate.
This is necessary as each android device uses different types of accelerometers.
As the accelerometer works by measuring the movement of the phone, it is best to have the phone firmly connected on your body.
Things to setup:
- Step length
- Body weight
- Overall workout statistics
- Normal / Goal workout
- Workout History
- Share, post to Facebook, Twitter
- Track workout route
- Build in music player
- Voice notifications
- GPS position filtering

Exercising is not only ment to loose weight and make you look good
There are many benefits of working out
"Exercise is the single best thing you can do for your brain in terms of mood, memory, and learning,"
says Harvard Medical School psychiatrist John Ratey
As little as 30 minutes of cardio three to five days a week will add six years to your life
according to research at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas
"Every sweat session you do can help strengthen your immune function for about 24 hours"
says Cedric Bryant, PhD, chief science officer for the American Council on Exercise
“You may not notice anything different day-to-day from your 50s to 70s, but when you are 80 or 90, you will be in much better shape”
said Dr. Karim Khan, professor of medicine at the University of British Columbia, and researcher at The Centre for Hip Health and Mobility
Raising your heart rate increases blood flow through the whole body. That means you’re also giving a boost to your immune system. “It gets those white cells moving, wakes them up and tells them it’s time to start patrolling the border, so to speak, to keep us well”
said Dr. Eudene Harry, author of Live Younger in 8 Simple Steps
"Regular aerobic exercise can bring remarkable changes not just to your body, your metabolism, and your heart, but also to your spirits"
reports the February 2011 issue of Harvard Men’s Health Watch.
“If exercise were a pill, it would be one of the most cost-effective drugs ever invented”
says Dr Nick Cavill, a health promotion consultant
"You don't need to radically change your body shape to get a confidence surge from exercise"
Studies suggest that simply seeing fitness improvements, like running a faster mile or lifting more weight than before, can improve your self-esteem and body image
Benefits of working out:
- Increases Energy And Endurance
- Reduces Stress, Depression And Anxiety
- Boost Happy Chemicals
- Improve Self-Confidence
- Prevent Cognitive Decline
- Alleviate Anxiety
- Boost Brainpower
- Sharpen Memory
- Helps You Sleep Better
- Tap Into Creativity
- Strengthens and boosts your immune system

Health benefits Statistics (from NHS)
It's medically proven that people who do regular physical activity have:
- up to a 35% lower risk of coronary heart disease and stroke
- up to a 50% lower risk of type 2 diabetes
- up to a 50% lower risk of colon cancer
- up to a 20% lower risk of breast cancer
- a 30% lower risk of early death
- up to an 83% lower risk of osteoarthritis
- up to a 68% lower risk of hip fracture
- a 30% lower risk of falls (among older adults)

Technologies
GPS Filtering
Advance algorithms are used to filter the collected GPS points. The "Pedometer SL" checks those points and then it finds the innacurate points given from the GPS and discards them.
SmartStep
The addition of SmartStep to "Pedometer SL" ensures that the app works at its optimum sensitivity while you are on your run. It can dynamically alter the sensitivity by monitoring the accelerometer data of each phone.
This makes the data collected much more accurate.
Accelerometer Filtering
Accelerometers used on phones are usually cheap ones and not very reliable. Each phone manufacturer also uses different brands of accelerometers making it even more difficult to have a universal way of accuratly measuring the workouts for all devices. The accelerometer filtering used in "Pedometer SL" ensures that the noisy values received are discarted so that when they are past to SmartStep no wrong mesuarments are made.
