Actually walking
...
But if I need to rack up a bunch of steps quickly I have this little machine made from LEGO (big surprise there). It spins the Pokéwalker around to get steps, much like if you left it in your pants while they go through the dryer. The Pokéwalker goes into an X-pod (lined with tissue so the Pokéwalker doesn't get all scratched up) which is connected to a mini 9V motor. The motor is controlled by a 9V train speed regulator. It actually works best on the slowest setting giving 120 steps per minute.
I use my restless leg syndrome to my advantage and stuff the pokewalker in my sock. Unfortunately, my legs bounce SO fast that the pokewalker doesn't always register the movement. Sometimes it works, though. My record is over 8,000 steps over the course of two hours in one of my classes. Espeon really liked that walk.
That should explain enough, right?
