Whether or not people want to face it, we�ve got a serious obesity problem in the states. Lay blame to parents, video games,� fast food or what have you, but the motivation to do physical exercise just isn�t there anymore.

That�s why GeoPalz has created a pedometer that can measure your footsteps for up to 21 days. This is a rather large undertaking as a program, but they intend to let it�s wearers build up points by how many steps they�ve taken, and win prizes through cashing in points. By creating a GeoPalz account, and buying the pedometer for about $25, you can start in on the program and start working towards anything from a Frisbee to a new bike. There is likely a lot of ways you can cheat this system, but it is definitely a hopeful venture, which will get the attention of some at least. This isn�t going to start a revolution of any kind, but it will affect some kids, and that�s all that matters.
