Riiflex for WiiIf you have a Wii, maybe you're like me and bought it for the main purpose of working out.  I thought that the Wii was so cool and unique and would finally get me over my habit of procrastinating when it comes to exercising.  The Wii does definitely make working out a lot more interactive than watching an exercise video at home and it can even track your progress in several different areas of fitness.  What has always been lacking though, is a way to incorporate resistance into these exercise fitness games.  I personally use the EA Sports Active game and although it does come with resistance bands, these don't seem to work very well for me.  Now, the folks at PowerPlay have come up with a solution which provides plenty of upper-body resistance while exercising or just playing games with your Wii.  It's the Riiflex 2 lb. Dumbbells which are incorporated with your existing Wii remotes!  Read on to learn more!

PRICE: I reviewed the Riiflex 2 lb. Dumbbells for Wii from PowerPlay, which retails for $29.99.

 

PROMOTION: Get an additional $5 OFF when you enter the coupon code DUMBBELL at checkout!
