Step counters can be incredibly useful tools for measuring success in a cardio program. The key is to set a reasonable goal for what your steps should be. 

In the cardio party, I am going to teach you how to set the right cardio goals using a step counter. We are going to set these goals based on our exercise tolerance levels, and we are going to use the step counter to help protect ourselves from exercise induced symptom flare-ups. 

Before we get started, you will need a step counter. Any kind will do. A cell phone, a wrist tracker- any step counter will work. 

Personally, I use this one.

I leave it by my bed at night, and in the morning, as I get dressed, I stick it in my bra. I know, it’s probably not where it is meant to go, but that way, it counts each and every step. Every time I get up to go to the bathroom or drink some water. It’s lightweight and I hardly know it’s there. 

But if you prefer a wearable, there are a million options on the market. And as I said, your cell phone should be able to do this for you too.
