Counting my steps

I've decided that I will get a pocket pedometer to track how many steps I walk per day. I'm curious about the distance I walk and whether I'm In the healthy range. Am I getting enough cardio? Or know I'm lazy to go for a jog so is walking enough for me? I am too cheap to get a jawbone up or fitbit for now. Let me try a basic pedometer first and see how it goes. I plan to update my progress here.
