iSteps
By: Henning Kabel
Developer's Notes: iSteps is a an easy and reliable tool that uses the motion sensors in your iPod touch / iPhone to calculate your body movements and tracks your steps during walking. It also calculates distance, average speed and total calories burned. iSteps is a fun way to help you promote your physical activity. For long-term health it is recommended that we take approx. 10,000 steps a day. For successful weight loss, daily steps should amount to 12,000-15,000. To get started using iSteps, set up your personal profile by entering your height in cm or inches, your weight in lbs or kg, and choose how you want your results displayed, either in kcal or kJ and distance in miles or km. Then press the START button and you are ready to GO! With iSteps you can continue to listen to your favorite music while you move. We recommend that you wear your iPhone or iPod touch by your waist or in your pocket, but you may need to experiment a bit to find the best location for optimal accuracy. The iSteps interface dims after 45 seconds as a power-saving feature. Touch the screen and it lights up again. iSteps counts and accumulates your steps until you choose to press the reset button. |
