Pedometer intervention and weight loss journey in obese and overweight people
Keywords:
BMI, health, obesity, pedometer, sedentary lifestyleAbstract
Obesity is one of the world's most critical increasing medical concerns. It is a state in which excess body fat gathers to such an extent that it adversely affects one's health. Obesity provokes a variety of additional illnesses, namely diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, lung disease, and many more, and it has cost countless lives worldwide. It is common for people in sedentary occupations to become overweight, due to the workday usually taking up roughly half of one's waking hours. As a result, there is little time for physical activity when compared with other types of work. However, there are several ways to motivate an individual to be physically active and lose weight. A pedometer, which tracks every step you take, may be a major motivator, assisting a person to meet their fitness objectives by displaying how much an individual moves daily. It only offers a person good feedback, such as the more steps you walk, which is a wonderful incentive. Wearing a pedometer is a simple, non-invasive technique for an individual to enhance awareness of daily activity, which leads to greater physical activity.
