Product Description

The Riiflex 2lb dumbbells are ergonomic, gym-quality weights that securely fit your Wii controllers to provide calorie-burning resistance while you play! Molded of tough polycarbonate, with cast-iron weights and a durable soft-touch rubber overmold, these weights won't slip out of your hand and can withstand the rugged abuse of any household.

The patent-pending design is meticulously engineered for durability while providing the most ergonomic comfort available on the market. The quick-release design allows the user to securely attach the dumbbells instantly. The Riiflex product is also the first product on the market to be compatible with Wii Motion Plus. Adding dumbbells to your Wii workouts adds an important element to your fitness routine that resistance bands alone cannot deliver. Dumbbells provide consistent resistance through the range of motion, are easier to transition from one exercise to another, and can be used in a wider variety of resistance exercises because they do not require another body part to establish resistance.

Why Riiflex over the competition?

Compatibility: Most competitive products on the market today are not compatible with Wii Motion Plus, the latest motion-sensing attachment to the Wii controllers.

Durability: Competitive products are made from cheap plastic and filled with sand or concrete for weight. Because they're manufactured like toys rather than fitness equipment, these products typically crack or break with only moderate use.

Usability: The most popular designs on the market require cumbersome installation that includes feeding cables through the end of the weight and attaching extra pieces to secure the controllers.

I added these weights to my Wii "Walk It Out" game and it made a huge difference in the intensity of my workout. I was surprised how such a small addition made my heart rate increase dramatically. They're very well balanced in your hands. I can't wait for the 4-lb weights to come out.

OK, these weights are top notch. I have a few friends that have bought other Wii weight sets and they are basically junk; makes you not even want to use them. I put these on my controllers and the feel alone is amazing. They are super durable and look freaking sweet as well. The grip on these weights is actually better than holding just the remote. I have even played games with them before. Haha I would highly recommend these to anyone looking to add on to their workouts. Based on the level of quality of these alone $29.99 is a steal. Seriously, put them in the cart and checkout, I don't have enough good things to say about them.

I bought these to replace the resistance band in my EA Sports Active workouts. The band was cumbersome and made it hard to target the correct muscles while holding the controller and nunchuck. These work SO well, I get a much better and more focused workout! I didn't think 2 lbs would be enough, but I can definitely feel the difference... they are way better than the band, but I wish they came in a 3 lb version as well. I highly recommend this product, they are sturdy, feel good in your hands, easy to get the controller and nunchuck in and out, and at $30 with free shipping, definitely worth the price.
