How much does a mile counter usually cost?

I want to start walking and then eventually running... but I want to get one of those mile marker thingys that tells me how far I have gone.... the kind you wear on your wrist. Does anyone know how much they cost from cheapest to most expensive? I don't want to spend too much money, but I need something to help me. Also, I how long to you guys walk/run for. Should I do it for time or distance?? Thanks so much for your help. I am five days post op and really want to start on a healthy exercise regiment. :wub:

You can get them online for less than $10. If you have an I Phone or a Droid you can download an app for free. Walmart has them for 7-10$. I wish you were closer -- I have one you wear on your hip that I got from Weight Watchers.

Congrats for being 5 days post-op and back to your exercise routine. Look up Dicks Sporting Goods, Sports Authority, Kmart, WalMart or Target. Remember you get what you pay for with those devices. I brought a workout watch from Target for $60-70 and it tells how many calories I've burned, heart rate, etc. I love it and it keeps me focus when I'm working out and to challenge myself.

I bought just a pedometer that you wear on your waistline from Meijer and wound up taking it back (@ $20), it was not accurate. What I've done now is with the car, I measured how far certain points are where I walk, so I know when I've walked a 1/2 mile or a mile, etc. I usually walk a mile to a mile and a half each night, then do that twice on the weekends . .. everyone is different. And when I started walking, I could only walk 1/4 mile . ..so do what you can do. Good luck!
