Check the drawers and closets at your house. You’ll probably find a pedometer tucked away along with the good intentions that arrived with it. 


Two new high-tech pedometers, the Fitbit and the Striiv, have ways to get you off the sofa and out the door on a regular daily program of light exercise. 

For starters, they both interact directly with your computer, eliminating the annoying bookkeeping chores if you want to compare one day's performance to the next and chart your progress.
