Abstract
A simple to use and inexpensive pedometer in which a goal time of walking may be set and which will notify the user when the goal has been reached. The pedometer will include structure for establishing a goal time; apparatus for sensing walking, for summing the time walked, and for comparing the time walked with the goal time; and an alarm device for notifying the user when the goal time has been reached. A countdown display will display the total time remaining to be walked. The structure for establishing the goal time may include a button switch wherein the goal time can be increased in increments. The alarm device may be a vibrator, a speaker, headphones, or a combination of devices. The pedometer may notify the user when the user has been inactive for a period of time so as to motivate the user to get up and get moving, but which will not signal the user when not being worn.
