Coming soon: Wii dumbbells

Wii dumbbells
I still love my Wii, and Wii Fit is my favorite kind of exercise. Yes, I’m that kind of exerciser. You can stop judging me now. LOL

Anyway, my very helpful hubby alerted me to this new Wii accessory, and I had to share it! It’s a clever weighted dumbbell, which attaches to the Wii-mote, so you can add resistance to your Wii workouts. Dubbed the “riiflex,” it’s not in stores yet, but is available for pre-order, in 2 and 5 pound sizes.

Looks like another interesting Wii-novation! But I’m not sure a Wii workout will be as much fun if the accessories actually start to look and feel like gym equipment. The thing I like best about Wii Fit is that it feels more like a game than real exercise. Seriously, exercise that feels like exercise just isn’t as enjoyable for me. Am I right? What do you think?

Wow that’s actually pretty cool. I’ve had my Wii fit for over a year now. The workout programs were fun but I got over them pretty quickly. I mostly use my Wii fit as a scale now but these Wii dumbbells just might make it more interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Nintendo are really piling on the accessories for the Wii aren’t they. It’ll not be long til everyone needs a WiiRoom or WiiChest to put all the goodies in.
