I'm using it with the Wii fit plus and I really like it, it adds to my work out and make it more fruitful.
My kids are starting to want to make push-ups since it looks more fun with this Bar
I'm using it almost a month and so far so good. It looks very stable on the Wii Fit board and very durable.

Not too much to say about another simple but very useful add on to the Wii Fit platform, I use it 4-5 times a weeks to do push ups that are much easier on my carpel tunnel ravaged wrists than the old flat have style.

This item is simple and effective. It serves its purpose well. It really relieves stress on your wrists and helps keep your hands from slipping off the balance board.

This is a great addition to workng out with the balance board and Wii Fit Plus. THe push up bar fits perfectly on the board even with my gel-like cover on. It just lays on top of the board but curves over the corners and stays in place just fine when doing the push-ups and plank. I would have liked the handles to have a softer grip as my palms hurt some still when doing the push-ups. So I added some tube foam (like what you can cut to fit around water pipes) and that helps. This puts less strain on my wrists being able to keep them straight and the options to change the angles is a nice feature. So, it still gets my 5 stars!

I was skeptical about this product. But it really helps me get into the correct posture to get a deeper bend. This is another great tool to enhance your workouts with the EA sport active, EA sport active more workouts, and any other Wii Fitness program where push ups are included in the routine. The bar is adjustable to 3 different postions and is placed on the wii balance board. This is not a flemsy(sp) product.

I assume you have seen commercials for the perfect push-ups or similar products. Though this does not have rotating handles (which the benefit of such is debatable), this pretty much covers many areas of a better push-up. First off, you get a better hand position. This will relieve all the strain you would get on your wrists from having your hands flat. With your hands and wrists inline you can get more power into your push-up. Also, having these handles and your hands higher than ground level means you can have more range of motion. You now are capable of going down farther. Deeper push-ups work out more of your muscle and in effect produce faster results. Push-ups are no joke even on the Wii. You will get a nice chest and tricep workout.

bought this cause push ups on the board were very painful on my hands
this just sits on top of the board and you can adjust the handles three ways and it really makes a difference which way you have them and wii fit recognizes you movements just as well as without the board
if you do a lot of push ups this will help you alot

Pros: It feels like a very sturdy product, allows for different positions, and stays tightly on the Wii Fit board.

Cons: From the pictures on the website, the hand part looks comfortable but like others have said, its all just plastic. You should wear gloves or cover the bar to protect your hands a bit. But hey normal push-ups are usually on hard floors. Food for thought.

Many items for the wii are just junk and dont add anything to the game. I picked this up at my local store and I must say, it makes a difference to the quality of the push ups on the wii, On wii fit probably the most benificial upper body strength traning is the push up with side plank and/or the push up challange. The product video is correct in describing why the bar is better than just the board alone. If there are any drawbacks it would be having to remove and replace the bar on your balance board durring sets. But durable, cheap, and it does what it sets out to do.

Purchased this accessory after viewing info video clip--at the great price, just had to try it. It has lived up to the video info, provides great stability and allows you to do a deeper push-up without wrist strain; in addition, the handles can move to angled position, working different muscles. All in all, it is a welcome addition to our wii fit. Check out the wii aerobics step platform, too!
