"The pedometer proves it!" I proudly brandished my phone to my more-than-skeptical audience, who realized that yes, if the calculations are accurate, I did indeed travel 32 kilometers. It's worth noting that the party was in a suburb very (very) far from the capital, three kilometers from the station, so I had reached 5 kilometers before I even walked the dancefloor.
A fun, alternative use for the pedometer
This use of the pedometer has even become a game between me and my friends. Just as the Nike Run Club can put you in competition and allow you to motivate yourself, the pedometer is now the referee of our evenings. "Ahhhh last night I danced more than you Juliet!", proudly boats a friend who shows me that she, unlike me, had not taken a break from dancing to chat with friends from 1:00 am to 2:30 am.

"Yes, but I 'danced' 4 kilometers between 2:00 am. to 3:00 am., while you only danced 3.5 kilometers." We say this kind of stuff now. Besides, if I've covered so many kilometers, it must have been when this artist I love so much was playing. Even if our memory is lacking, the pedometer allows us to know almost exactly from what time to what time we danced, and with what intensity!

They indicate a trend, that's for sure, but I find it surprising that a friend reaches 43 kilometers on his Huawei, while I'm "only" at 32 kilometers on my iPhone, yet we spent the whole evening together. Certainly, he dances more intensely, but still!
Opinion by Juliette BassineI remain skeptical about the reliability of pedometers....

Other useful features for nights out or festivals
Imagine the results you could achieve if you don't dance for a whole night, but for a whole weekend or even a whole week? Yes, the pedometer is also very useful in festivals!

It would be even better if you use a fitness tracker that counts the number of calories you have burned, your heart rate and as always... the number of steps. I am sure that after three days of dancing, the results would be even more amazing! I should try the next time I go to one of these events....
What do you think of using a pedometer in this way? What are some other alternatives uses for tech you have found?
