PINGKO 3D Carabiner Walking Pedometer Best Activity Fitness Tracker


PINGKO 3D Carabiner Walking Pedometer Best Activity Fitness Tracker  
 

This Pedometer from Pingko is a very sensitive piece of equipment.  It has imperial or metric settings and has an accelerometer step counting function which is meant to be used for continuous walking exercise.  When I first had this I thought I could clip the carabiner onto something like trousers or a bag and start walking and it would count my steps.  This little machine is far more complicated than I expected.  You cant just do that.  This is so sensitive that if you break your walking with say a car journey this pedometer is used to measure acceleration and I found it counted the movement of my car as steps.

 It comes with instructions on how to set it up and upon first glance I was mortified.  Saying that, they were quite easy to follow so I had a go.  I found the buttons on the back a bit awkward to use as I have long nails but I soon got the hang of them. The instructions were quite simple basically you have to set up the clock for 12 or 24 hour.  Select if you want to use IN (IMPERIAL) or CM (METRIC).  You have to work out your stride.  For example, you have to walk 10 paces in your normal stride and measure from start to finish and calculate your stride by dividing the total distance by 10 and this works out how far you walked in your 10 paces.  Next you enter your weight then finally you put your target of how many steps you want to try to complete.  When you are walking there is a progress bar on the front of the pedometer and when you reach your first 500 steps one black bar will fill in.  This indicates that you have reached 10% of your target.  As you walk on the bars increase and at 5000 steps the pedometer flashes and beeps to indicate that you have reached 100% of your target.  This unit stores the memory of 7 days activity.  When not in use after 3 minutes the unit will shut down and will wake up if it feels movement.  I have now got used to how this works and it is really a great help to anyone who wants to do more exercise as you now have visibility of just how well you are doing.  Apart from the visibility this is also what I would call a bit of a moral booster.  If you can see that your not doing enough it spurs you on to do more.  If I can use this anyone can.  Check out the website, you wont be sorry.

I received this item at a discount and am under no obligation to write this review.

Rayami 2 Pack Soft Magic Summer Cooling Towel https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B072STY2M2   https://youtu.be/VbYh0MHdCHs     This towel is made from  a Sweat-Absorbent Breathable and hyper-evaporative fabric material that holds water and creates a longer lasting cooling effect.  I put this in cold water, shook off the excess then put it round my neck whilst I went out for an hour long walk with my dog.  I get hot and sweaty whilst walking as we go up and down hills and the constant stopping and starting just wears you out.  This towel was really good at keeping my neck cool and I felt that I did not sweat so much.  I don't do any sport really and I wanted to try this as I was not really sure that there was such a towel but this does work.  I did wash this as it is machine washable and it has not lost any of its colour though I did find the ends of the towel did fray.  It is very lightweight so you could quite easily just pop it in your gym bag to use at any time.  It c

These are peppermint flavored, non peroxide and non slip strips.  You get 14 days supplied in this box.  There is also a shade guide so you can check the results for yourself.  You need to make sure your teeth are dry for it to work better.

One Step 3 In 1 Nail Gel Polish https://brightsparrow.com/products/one-step-3-in-1-nail-gel-polish?fbclid=IwAR0BVfjk-hP-4cmsQRC3UY-76HOTt6ATF6MxFW2u7uU3PU5fDXO8beNDRog If there was ever a way to transform the way nails are painted then this is it.  Its quick and easy to use.  This new product is pen shaped in design and makes it simpler to apply gel nail polish.  To make this product work at its best you have to use it in conjunction with a UV Lamp for the fast drying results. When I first got this I thought it was broken because I ordered the black and the pen was white.  You have to twist it several times on the top before the polish is released.  It is not very thick to start with so I recommend you test this first before applying to your nails as it can be runny and did actually go under my nails the first time I used it so I had to clean it off and start again. Once I got the hang of it, the pen was easy to use.  I found that you did need to do several coats to get th
