You know what they say about people who live in glass houses. They shouldn't attach weights to their Wiimotes.

Which is strange because I hate peripherals

they are probably like $50 and it looks like you can hardly hit the buttons, and besides, games are a time for relaxing if i want to work out i'll hit the gym

Everyone who says that usually skips an entire month from the gym... and eventually is surprised on how good Wii Fit is. :P

Are you saying I could get ripped just by playing with these weights? Allright man, sign me up!

This may actually be an interesting idea. Combine this with Tiger Woods, Madden, NMH or some other game and you could have a nice little workout.

This has potential to be good for MarioKart Wii, since many people complain about the lack of resistance in the wheel.

It makes sense if you're doing the Tricep Extension exercise in WiiFit. The instructions tell you to "increase the weight, starting with a bottle of water". However, once you put down the Wii Remote in place of a weight, it stops counting your reps.

This is a perfect alternative. I'm just worried it's going to be overpriced for what it is.

It would only work if you played games with one wii remote in each hand, otherwise you are only working out one arm.

There is a game which makes use of using two wiimotes for a single player AND a game I owned and tried with wrist weights for a good shoulder and arm workout in addition to being a fun game.
