| Step Counter (pedometer) Resource Pack

The Resource Pack provides an off-the-shelf, ready made solution for small, medium and large companies looking to implement a Walking Scheme for their workforce.
It contains materials and information required to get such a Walking Scheme off the ground.
There is a sturdy Compartment Box of 32 Step Counters (pedometers); the associated instructions, information and supporting material to launch and sustain a walking programme is provided on a CD.
The Pack is suitable for small, medium and large enterprises. It contains a wide range of resources designed to provide the information and materials required to set up and run a walking scheme in the workplace.
For ease of use the majority of material comes on CD.

Tried and tested
In 2005 the Resource Pack was successfully piloted by the Welsh National Assembly and Epsom and Ewell Borough Council. Here are some quotes taken from these pilots:
 |
"it certainly raised awareness of how much much/little (activity) participants were doing on a daily basis" |
|
|
"most definitely raised awareness to increase levels of activity" |
|
|
"a strong motivating tool to achieve more steps" |
|
|
"useful to identify patterns of activity and to recognise trends" |
|
|
"86% of participants used the logs provided" |
The Step Counter is being used across the UK by many schemes within the 'Walking the Way to Health' Initiative (www.whi.org.uk) as backed by the Countryside Agency and the British Heart Foundation.
