A couple months ago I wanted to get an app for my phone to keep track of the distance I walk. Up until then I was trying to map it once I got home with Runkeeper, but it wasn’t always that accurate.
After a little bit of googling, I decided to try Cardio Trainer. I had some really good reviews, plus it was free (you can pay a couple dollars for an “enhanced version").
I’ve been using it for a couple months now and I’m really liking it. It has just enough stats (like distance, time, pace, steps) to keep me motivated, without being overwhelming. At the beginning of a walk I’ll set myself a goal of walking X number of steps, or going for a certain distance.
It’s pretty easy to use too. Every once in awhile I pause it if I come to a bench with a pretty view and want to sit down for a couple minutes and enjoy it – all it takes is one button to pause it, and one button to start it again once I’m ready to start off.
