Riiflex

Fitness games are certain to be big sellers this Christmas. Everyone is looking for something to counter the mince pies they put away. And the knowledge that those all-important New Year’s Resolutions are just around the corner makes the public a little more health-conscious than usual.

With plenty of games such as Wii Fit Plus, EA Sports Active: More Workouts and Your Shape all hitting shelves this Q4, you’d think the Wii-owning public has all it needs to shed the unsightly pounds. But peripherals specialists Power Play have proved that there is more to offer.

WEIGHT A MINUTE
The Riiflex weights transform the official Wii Remote and Nunchuk into dumbbells, perfect for a proper workout. These hefty plastic shells weigh 1kg and crucially add resistance to any lifting a fitness game requires, making the exercise significantly more effective.

The weights have been designed to make them as comfortable as possible during prolonged Wii Fit sessions. The underside has been moulded to fit comfortably around the fingers and thumb, with a dashed texture that prevents the shell from slipping out of players’ hands as they lift it.

Riiflex shells also boast durability, ensuring that they last long enough for players to get plenty of use out of them.
Power Play is currently planning to release additional Riiflex weights early next year. These will be available in 0.5kg/1lb and 2kg/3lb varieties, allowing gamers to tailor exercises more closely to their abilities.

Additionally, a Balance Board Fitness Step will also be released designed to raise the Wii Fit peripheral off the ground.
