Lesson 3: Stepping out

Today we will find out how active we are by counting our

steps.

Lesson 3: Stepping out

A pedometer counts how many steps you take. This is how to use it.

1. Clip the pedometer to your waist and press the button to turn on.

2. Carry on as normal!

3. Read the number on the screen. This is the number of steps you have taken.
