Walking up and down the Beach looking for the next cool thing to wash up certainly gives a person a workout. But now I have found something that could tell me just how much of a workout. Seiko has developed an exercise counter that could not be easier to use, just stick it in your pocket.
The Slimstick features a dual-axis accelorometer and a few other things that tracks the calories burned along with an overall rating for the exercise. The Slimstick cost about $55 and should definitely not be a burden to carry, weighing only 15 grams and measuring only 2 x 6.4 x 0.89 centimeters. At that weight you could probably get a friend to carry around for you for a day quite easily. Or would that still count?
Aloha from the Beach,
