Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

I would like to purchase one pedometer per student, so they will be able to join in the 10,000 step program as well as be able to learn about their resting and exercise heart rate. I teach two periods of Physical Education at James Madison Middle School with an average of 60 students in each class. The goal of taking 10,000 steps in a day is a rough equivalent to the Surgeon General's recommendation to accumulate 30 minutes of activity most days of the week. It should be enough to reduce the students risk for disease and help them lead a longer, healthier life. Health experts recommend walking around 10,000 steps/day (about 5 miles) on most days for cardiovascular health. It's possible more steps may be needed for weight loss. Investing in an inexpensive pedometer is a good way to begin and stay motivated with walking. The number of steps is enough and may be more accurate than some of the other measurements. One way to increase exercise and motivation is by the students being able to see the amount of steps they take in class, whether by running, walking, exercising, or jumping.
