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!
So what do you think of this? Is it something you would buy? I think it’s a fantastic idea but I would personally need it to be heavier than 2kg for me to purchase. Leave us a comment below…

I think it’s a great idea. Would use for one of the yoga exercises on Wii Fit.
