How to Reset a Pedometer

Pedometers are devices that track the number of steps you have taken during the course of a day or during a jogging or walking session. These small devices can be used as a motivating tool or to ensure you are meeting your fitness goals. Resetting a pedometer will set the number of steps you have taken back to zero. Performing this function will depend on the type of model you have, though it requires pushing only one or two buttons.
