Gadgetry confusion ... advice needed
Being in my
late 60s and a bit overweight I am trying to get a bit fitter. I would like to know how many steps I do when
I go for a walk and how hard my heart is working when I ride my old bike.

You can check your own heart rate. You just need a watch with a second hand. Count and time for 15 seconds and x 4 or count and time for 30 and x 2. You'll just need to stop briefly. Chemist sometimes sell pedometers that are inexpensive. I do have a clip on fitbit. 10 minutes walk can be around 1800 steps. It all depends on your stride.
