If you felt your arms were not getting enough of a workout on the Wii, that’s all about to change. Working out on the Wii is about to become even more effective with the introduction of the Riiflex.

The Riiflex is a weighted attachment for the Wii Remote which turns it into a weighted dumbell.  It will be available in 2lb and 5lb (just over 2kg) increments.  The design won’t interfere with access to your Wii Remote, so you can pump Wii, sorry I mean iron,  and push buttons all at the same time.

What you see in the image is just a protoype but the product is currently being developed.  US customers can secure a pre-order for a  $5 deposit.  There is no news as to whether this will be available in the UK.

Although this is patent-pending, there is no doubt we will now see a whole load of similar products over here soon.  It’s such an obvious idea isn’t it?  I wish I had thought of it myself!

If this is the Japanese way of encouraging you to eat sensibly, start exercising and buy a Wii Fit – I would like to see what their food ads are like. I don’t want to exercise, I want to eat!

A book on how to get fit on the Wii Fit! We haven’t seen a copy of Get Fit On Wii Fit, but the general consensus from the online reviews we’ve seen is that perhaps you shouldn’t part with your pennies just yet.  When we get hold of a copy, we’ll let you know what we think. Anyhow, we can tell you how to get fit on the Wii Fit in one sentence:  Get on it and switch it on!
