Fantasy fitness titles like Wii Fit crack me up. Doing skull crushers, tricep extensions and flailing your arms around with an object as heavy as the Wii remote doesn’t do anything positive — or at least substantially positive — for your body in the long run. You simply need heavier stuff or continue adding weight for muscle exercises to be effective.
Enter Power Play and their upcoming product the Riiflex (pictured above).
Riiflex is a set of dumbbells (you’ll be able to buy two and four pound models) that can be used with the Wii’s variety silly fitness games. There’s no connectivity to the game required; you simply slap your nunchuck and Wii remote into the heavy plastic and start moving.
While I can make fun fantasy fitness all day, but I’ll leave you with the knowledge that these things are the real deal. The distribution is perfect, the rubber is solid and I would totally use them if they weighed 38 or 40 more pounds. My biceps are large, son. Large.
