         3 . The wearable device of  claim 2 , wherein the motion sensor comprises a plurality of acceleration sensors and a plurality of electromyogram (EMG) sensors which are disposed in association with the plurality of vibrators.
 wherein the content is one of a yoga content, a Pilates content, a golf content, and a dance content, and, if the pose of the user disagrees with a reference pose stored in the content, the controller vibrates one of the plurality of vibrators corresponding to a disagreeing portion of the user's pose to provide a feedback to the user.   
     
     
         4 . A display device comprising:
 a storage device to store a content;   a display unit to display an execution screen if the content is executed;   a communicator to receive a sensing signal and a bio-signal of a motion of a user from a wearable device worn on a body of the user;   a controller to determine a pose of the user according to the sensing signal and the bio-signal, display the pose of the user on the execution screen, and compare the pose of the user with a reference pose stored in the content; and   a voice output unit to output as a voice the comparison result between the pose of the user and the reference pose.   
     
     
         5 . The display device of  claim 4 , wherein the controller generates a feedback signal indicating the comparison result between the pose of the user and the reference pose and transmits the feedback signal to the wearable device through the communicator. 
     
     
         6 . The display device of  claim 4 , wherein if the content is executed, the controller generates a control command to adjust at least one peripheral device registered in the display device to a condition agreeing with an exercise service and transmit the control command to the peripheral device. 
     
     
         7 . The display device of  claim 4 , wherein the content is one of a yoga content, a Pilates content, a golf content, and a dance content. 
     
     
         8 . An exercise service providing system comprising:
 a wearable device which is worn on a body of a user, the wearable device including a motion sensor and a bio-signal sensor, the wearable device providing a vibration feedback according to a comparison result between a pose of the user and a reference posed stored in a content; and   a display device to execute the content to display an execution screen, determine a pose of a user by using sensed values of the motion sensor and the bio-signal sensor transmitted from the wearable device, display the pose of the user on the execution screen, and transmit the comparison result between the pose of the user and the reference pose stored in the content to the wearable device.   
     
     
         9 . An exercise service providing method of an exercise service providing system comprising a wearable device worn on a body of a user and a display device, the exercise service providing method comprising:
 executing a content through the display device to display an execution screen;   transmitting sensed values of a motion sensor and a bio-signal sensor attached onto the wearable device to the display device;   determining a pose of the user by using the sensed value and displaying the pose of the user on the execution screen through the display device;   comparing the pose of the user with a reference pose stored in the content through the display device and transmitting the comparison result from the display device to the wearable device; and   providing a vibration feedback through the wearable device according to the comparison result.   
     
     
         10 . The exercise service providing method of  claim 9 , wherein if the content is executed, the display device generates a control command to adjust at least one peripheral device registered in the display device to a condition agreeing with an exercise service and transmits the control command to the peripheral device. 
     
     
         11 . The exercise service providing method of  claim 9 , wherein the content is one of a yoga content, a Pilates content, a golf content, and a dance content. 
     
     
         12 . A method of providing an exercise service by using a display device, the method comprising:
 if a content is executed, displaying an execution screen;   receiving a sensing signal and a bio-signal of a motion of a user from a wearable device worn on a body of the user;   determining a pose of the user according to the sensing signal and the bio-signal;   displaying the pose of the user on the execution screen; and   outputting as a voice a comparison result between the pose of the user and a reference pose stored in the content.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:
