The Boothbay Region Elementary School fifth graders kept track of the number of steps they took each day for eight weeks and calculated bi-weekly averages in math class. Gold medal winners needed to meet their step goals six times per week for six weeks.
A healthy 9- to 11-year-old should take between 12,000 and 15,000 steps each day. Adults need about 10,000 steps each day to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
