The Impulse Buyer

Walking and jogging are simple and effective ways of getting fit. But going out alone late at night or early in the morning comes with potential dangers. For extra safety while exercising, this unique pedometer with a built-in panic alarm is ideal.

With work and a social life to think about, early mornings or late evenings are often the only times available for exercise. This modern looking pedometer will not only help you keep fit, but feel safe too. It's incredibly simple to use. If you're faced with a dangerous situation, simply pull the ‘panic pin' from its socket, and an ear-splitting 115db alarm goes off. The sound, and shock, will soon alert others or scare off a potential assailant.

With your peace of mind assured, you can get on with getting fit. This pedometer has several features to help you. An LCD display shows the number of steps taken up to 99999 steps, and the distance travelled in miles up to 999.99 miles. There's also a timer which goes up to 99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds. Even the most active fitness freak can't out-walk this baby.

It also shows you exactly what affect all this exercise is having, by calculating the number of calories burnt during your walk or jog. This is also shown on the LCD display up to 99999 calories, shockingly enough. (Please note: If you try and burn off 99999 calories in one session you'll probably melt into a pool of goo on the pavement.)

This high quality pedometer is lightweight and easily clips onto a belt or waistband for convenience. And it's not only the Panic Alarm that makes it suitable for use at night. A Hi-Glo backlight allows you to read the LCD display in the dark.

The Pedometer with Panic Alarm is an essential purchase for people serious about fitness and safety. It also makes an ideal gift for a girlfriend or female relative, who may feel more vulnerable alone at night.
