Wii Fit gets Fitter with Riiflex Dumbells

Jan 22 2009, 2:00pm CST | by Shane McGlaun

Nintendo's Wii is the hottest game console on the planet right now and one of its top games (if you can call it a game) is the Wii Fit that allows users to exercise using the console. To make the workout even more rigorous a new weight system has been announced.

A company called Riiflex has announced a new set of dumbbells that are designed to hold the Wii Remotes. You slip the Wii remotes inside the dumbbells much like you would any other remote holder and then work out.

The Riiflex system is available for pre-order now and will come in 2 pound and five pound styles. The maker says that the Wii Remotes function normally when inside the dumbbells. The actual sales price is unknown, but the reservation fee for the Riiflex device is $5 for US customers only. There is no word on the final availability date or sales price.
