  6. Wii Fit • Cost=$99.99 • Wii Fit combines fitness and fun • You are able to do the exercises with the controller while on the Wii Fit balance board • Includes 6 training modes like yoga, strength training and aerobics, and includes more than 60 exercises

  7. Balance Board • Cost=$19.99 • Similar to the way the controller works • Reads your body movements and brings them to life on the screen

  8. Projector • Cost=$200-$400 • Needed in order to project the Wii so that the whole class can see the screen

  9. Benefits of the Wii • The Wii allows for the player to really control the character • It makes it fun to do fitness • Wii Fit allows for the whole class to do exercises together using the balance boards • Will promote life long fitness doing something students like to do

  10. Final Costs • For a class of 30 students it would cost the school about $1160 • This is very reasonable especially since it will be able to be used by different classes • This cost will be put to great use by assisting in turning around the obesity epidemic in the country
