NEW-LIFESTYLES NL-1000 Activity Monitor

It's fairly simple — set the clock, set your stride length, set the intensity threshold, and go! This may sound intimidating, but it isn't; we write clear and concise step-by-step instructions for you.

The invention of the NL-1000 is important for three main reasons:
1.) It works better on bigger bodies than a pedometer.
2.) It is the first accelerometer with a MVPA™ Timer.
3.) Its metal/plastic clip is strong and durable.

Placement and positioning on the body affect the accuracy of simple pedometers, therefore NEW-LIFESTYLES engineered the new NL-1000 (like its research-acclaimed predecessor the NL-2000) to be less sensitive to positioning so that it counts accurately on nearly all body types including those with bigger tummies.

Inside, the NL-1000 Activity Monitor uses a piezoelectric strain gauge to not only accurately count steps, but to also detect the intensity of each step. By popular demand we’ve made it more intuitive and incorporated a new feature: the moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) time accumulation.

The NL-1000 combines the three most beneficial and necessary features: steps, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) time accumulation and 7-day memory. Other pedometers on the market offer exercise or activity time, but they simply record all random motion. Since they use the simpler, suspended lever arm sensor mechanisms, they are unable to distinguish light intensity physical activity from moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity. And since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American College of Sports Medicine’s physical activity recommendation for adults is at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity activity (3 METS or above) 5 or more days per week and for children the recommendation is at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity most days of the week, that distinction is a very important one.

Outside, you'll love the new hybrid clip that combines the strength of metal with the grip of plastic. Finally a clip that is virtually unbreakable, yet it won't slip!

You’ll love the NL-1000’s functionality for these reasons:
• It is one of three medical-grade accelerometers available in its price range. (The other two are the NL-800 and NL-2000.)
• Unlike other pedometers, the NL-1000 has a specially designed patent-pending metal/plastic hybrid clip. We combined the best of plastic clips with the best of metal clips, and the result is a clip with more holding power than most plastic clips.
• It has a clamshell design, so you won't inadvertently press the buttons.
• It stores your step total, distance, and your MVPA activity minutes total for seven days.
• There is no need to press the reset button every day. Its internal clock resets your totals daily!
• It doesn't make a clicking sound because it doesn’t have moving parts.
• Due to the design of its internal sensor mechanism, the NL-1000 (like its predecessor the NL-2000) counts steps at slower speeds and on bigger bodies better than simple, suspended lever-arm pedometers.
• It easily switches to metric mode.
• It's 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 7/8" and weighs less than 2 ounces.
