Gmaps Pedometer

So I'm revisiting using the Gmaps Pedometer I posted about previously since walking is my main form of exercise right now.

It tracks your walk, the exact distance, and if you turn on the feature, it'll also show calories burned based on your weight.

I'm thrilled to see that my evening dog walk burns off 120 calories! My daily commute burns 150 calories a day (75 each way). And my walk back from Whole Foods today burned 130 calories.

All in all, 400 calories! I'll take it!

I really like how much lighter I feel. Having lost 20 pounds makes a difference in my mobility. I had really started to notice things being harder this year physically, and I really think it was that extra weight.

For those of you trying to squeeze in a bit more exercise, Google has just made it easier to track the distance you walk/run/bike. Gmaps pedometer allows you to click various points on a map until you have tracked your entire path. It then tells you the distance traveled and if you enter your weight, calories burned.

How cool is that!?!?!

I've decided to start walking at lunch, especially now that the weather is better. I managed a bit over a mile today traipsing around Tribeca.
