Track your Walking-This is AWESOME!

Have you ever gone on a walk/jog and wondered how far you actually went and how many calories you burned? Well, my Father-in Law introduced me to Gmaps Pedometer. This is a REALLY REALLY REALLY cool website that I've been having so much fun with.


Now I know that I've been walking 4.2798 miles and that I've been burning 426.74 calories every time I walk! Yeah me!!!


Click HERE if you want to try it. If you click on the "Hybrid" mode in the top right corner of gmaps pedometer, then you can see your house, trail, etc. really close. It's pretty cool!


Hope you have as much fun with this as I have!


Oh wow, I just found some stats that are really interesting...


Holland - 45% of daily travel on foot or by bicycle.


Sweden - 33% of daily travel on foot, 10% by bicycle.


France and Italy - More than 25% of their daily travel is on foot.


USA - Roughly 5% of people's comings and goings are on foot.
