gadget. Wii Fit Plus

Isn’t it strange that the video game that I should be playing is the one that I don’t play? I am, of course, referring to the Wii Fit, the wondrous little white box that allows me to work on my balance and exercise until I get my Wii Fitness age down to my actual age. You’d have to play the Wii Fit to get that, and now Wii players can get the Wii Fit Plus. This enhanced version will have new features, exercise, yoga moves, and more balancing games. I’m not certain if there is any downloadable content, but it certainly should. The Wii Fit Plus allows players to customize their workouts to target specific areas of their bodies. So is this is the start of Dance Dance Revolution your @$$ off? Just kidding, there. The Wii Fit Plus does allow the user to “fill specific intervals of time”. I am assuming that means that if you have only a few minutes, the Wii Fit Plus will accommodate you. The Wii Fit Plus with the Wii board accessory should be available on October 4th for about $99. For users...

Shape up or ship out - that’s the mantra that most people hear these days concerning the current global economic downturn, where performance trumps everything else, with most people putting in more than expected just to retain their jobs. The same can also apply to gamers who have a notoriously poor reputation of keeping their health in check - and Power Play Corp. hopes to somewhat debunk that myth/fact with the Riiflex Wii Dumbbell. This not only doubles up as your Wiimote cover, it also offers the chance to exercise while you swing that Wiimote around wildly. For those who want to add a little bit of resistance weights to their Wii regime, you can pick up the 2lbs set foor $20 or 4lbs set for $40.
