Do you know your walking routine? in Europe and Aruite Wakaru Seikatsu Rhythm DS (歩いてわかる 生活リズムDS) in Japan, roughly translating to A Life Rhythm that you can Understand by Walking DS, is an exercise game released in 2008 in Japan, and 2009 everywhere else, for the Nintendo DS developed by Nintendo Network Service Development (Nintendo NSD) in collaboration with Creatures Inc. and Engines, The pedometer accessory being created internally at Nintendo NSD while the software component was developed in partnership with Nintendo NSD, Creatures Inc., and Engines.

Overview
Personal Trainer: Walking allows up to four users to track their walking, jogging or running activities that the game group as "Walking Rhythm" through a series of graphs, charts and statistics created by the information tracked by the "Activity Meter", an infrared pedometer bundle in two with the game, one in white and one in black, with other pedometer in green having to be bought separately. The game also allows the player to set goals for themselves of how much he have to walk per day.
While the Activity Meter can tracks the Walking Rhythm of the player if they hang it on their pants or putting it in their pocket, it can also tracks the walking Rhythm of Dogs by hanging the Activity Meter to a collar.
The game employs Miis and Dogs in the same artstyle to track the progress of users, with the player having to either create a Mii within the game, choose a Mii similar to his one or wirelessly transfer an existing Mii from a Wii console's Mii Channel to their Nintendo DS.
The game contain a collection of minigames, some of them being exclusive Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, to motivate the player to walk more often, as the number of steps per day is then used in those, with the more steps, the more the user's Mii will do it those minigames.
