Students in Annette Weiand's fitness and nutrition class, in its first year and open to all but freshmen, have been wearing Nike Fuel Bands to track energy expended for various activities.

"How do you tell as a physical education teacher if <a href="http://www.nike-airmaxtrainers.co.uk">nike air max</a> someone's working hard or not?" Weiand asked.

Lowell High School students have been provided with individual <a href="http://www.nike-airmaxtrainers.co.uk">air max uk</a> laptops, so the Nike Fuel Bands, which plug into them for easy downloads, were a logical choice, she said. She wrote a grant application and received $2,384 from the Tri-Creek Education Foundation to buy the bands.

During a recent class where students shared a nutritious lunch, they talked about the bands they wear 24 hours a day.

"I was surprised the school got them for our class," said Angelica <a href="http://www.nike-airmaxtrainers.co.uk">air max 90</a> Contreras, 17.

Malena Hernandez, 17, said she enjoys tracking the number of steps she takes daily.

"I think they're really cool," she said.
