Most pedometers work by using a simple pendulum method of counting steps. Any slight moving causes the pendulum to swing and count a step. • The FitKIKActiped pedometer measures foot contact time with the ground. Using this information and patented algorithms it determines distance traveled, calories burned, activity time, and the number of steps you take.
