Confirmed—the NEW-LIFESTYLES NL-2000, better on bigger bodies! A recent study conducted by Crouter, Schneider and Bassett at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (Accuracy Of Pedometers For Measuring Steps In Overweight And Obese Individuals) confirms that the NEW-LIFESTYLES NL-2000 is a better device for every body—yielding more accurate step counts in overweight and obese individuals.

Placement and positioning on the body affect the accuracy of simple pedometers, therefore NEW-LIFESTYLES engineered the NL-2000 to be less sensitive to positioning so that it would count accurately on nearly all body types including those with bigger tummies.

Inside, the NL-2000 uses a piezoelectric strain gauge to not only accurately count steps—but to also detect the intensity of each step in order to determine the appropriate amount of caloric expenditure. You burn more calories jogging than you do when tiptoeing to the fridge, so you should get credit for it! The NL-2000 also computes your basal metabolic rate (BMR), using the information your age, gender, height and weight. Often described as how many calories your body needs to keep functioning properly, which is about 60 to 70 percent of the calories your body burns a day.

Scientifically validated with accuracy second-to-none, the NL-2000 is the ideal tool for every BODY to strive for energy balance and weight control!

Want to lose weight? The NL-2000 is also sold as part of our ENERGY BALANCE & WEIGHT CONTROL™ kit. It's ideal for teaching energy balance and weight control, making it the perfect tool for weight loss programs.

You’ll love the NL-2000's functionality for these reasons:
• It’s the only research-validated, medical-grade accelerometer available in its price range.
• Unlike other pedometers, the NL-2000 has a metal clip (not a plastic one).
• It has a clamshell design, so you won't inadvertently press the buttons.
• It stores your step total and your activity calories 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.
• Using the NL-2000, you can set a daily goal for burning calories and challenge yourself to meet it – or to beat it!
• Due to the design of its internal sensor mechanism, the NL-2000 counts steps at slower speeds and on bigger bodies better than other pedometers.
• It easily switches to metric mode.

Ships with a Quick Start Guide and a security strap. (We don't offer this model without a strap; believe us, you don't want to lose this one! It's a beauty.) The NL-2000 is available only in black and comes with a protective cover. It's small — 2 1/4" x 1 3/4" x 3/4" and weighs less than 3/4 ounce.
