I downloaded an app for my phone that is also a pedometer. Since I wear my phone on my belt it works pretty good. I held it in my hand and moved it around to see if it would count me talking on the phone or sending a text as walking and much to my surprise it didn't. This app is called Moves. I have an iphone so I don't know if there is an android version. I like it because you can look at your total steps and it will also show it to you in miles or minutes. Pretty sweet.
