10,000 STEPS A DAY
******************************************************************************
++++ It should be noted that recent studies suggest that for children ages
10 - 15, 10,000 steps a day may not be sufficient. Experts now recommend
that girls in that age group should strive for 12,000 steps and boys should
strive for 13,000.
