We've already talked about the fact that the simple act of wearing a pedometer helps you increase your physical activity and decrease your weight without really even thinking about it. Now, a new study proves that when you take the extra "step" of thinking about the number of steps you're taking you'll enjoy even more benefits.
Researchers found that among individuals who wore pedometers, those who logged their steps by simply recording the number of steps they took each day took 9% more steps than those who did not.
A 10% "return on investment" in our current economic climate would would be considered remarkable and a solid way to gain financial ground. And this study proves that you can yield nearly a 10% "return on investment" in your well-being--a proven way to lose extra weight. All from the simple act of recording a number each day. Now, that's quite a dividend.
