Lonsdale Pedometer HELP!

Hello everyone

I used to go walking to try to stop my bottom growing :p

I'm taking it up again and have bought a new Pedometer to help motivate me. Problem is I can't get the thing to work!

It's a Lonsdale pedometer and I bought it from one of thon sports shops. I've tried online but I just can't get to put my weight and stride in (the two things I actually NEED to help me)

Is there anyone able to help this exhausted stoopid woman?

    Those cheap pedometers are pretty useless, the trembler switches start to fail after only a short period of use anyway. If you have a smartphone with GPS use that instead to record your distance.

    Hi

    thanks so much for your replies. I'm going to just butcher this one I have and get the battery. I already have a Newfeel one and I loved it. The battery died so hopefully if I put the new one in my old data will still be there. Otherwise I'll be back to step 1 sigh

    Doubtful the data will be there, the battery will be the thing powering the save function.

    Re the new one; if it's lonsdale it'll be sports direct (or one of their "named" other stores) therefore expect no help with it, or return facilities.
