Everlast 2lb Dumbbells - Nintendo Wii

The Wii fit is a great tool. I was athletic in High School however still more of a chess player than a sports guy. I am not huge into jogging though I like hiking. I don't like gyms very much but I do like doing the boxing on the Wii Fit and with the weights you really break a sweat after just 20 minutes and after the first hour you can feel your shoulders and upper back start to feel the work out too. The Wii remote is just to light to give any real resistance.I will say if you are buying this just to play with a regular game you are going to be in trouble. The dumbbells while trying not to block the sensor often prevent the cursor from working properly and you have to really point it straight at the sensor strip to make them work for menu usage, and if you have smaller hands, I have huge hands but my sister and mom don't, than it can be hard to do anything other than work out, which is why I got them.

The wii controllers must be placed inside 'tunnels' in the dumbbells. This creates three small issues, which aren't very bad but slightly annoying: a. the controller has a harder time communicating directly with the Wii because of said tunnel and the position you'd generally hold a dumbbell in isn't directly straight forward, so you miss points/hits/whatever. and b. by holding the dumbbell you're actually pressing buttons on the controller - the grip is removed so you've got direct palm to button pressure. and c. it's hard to disconnect the nunchuck from the controller which is required for several other games which dumbbells would make a better workout for, so I end up popping the controller out disconnecting. well, it takes up valuable time.nice idea though and I'll continue to use them. the design could have been better.

1st off they are only 2 lbs. i get the feeling ppl here are used to 10lbs weights. i purchased these to accompany my EA Active Fitness game. after boxing for 5 mins. they feel heavier. i didnt find them hard to use either and there is no assembly required. i leave the Nunchuck in side of the left Dumbell to switch out easier.

They really add a lot to the workout. I did some boxing and was wiped out after a few rounds. Great for the arms and torso. The only hard part was finding which games and workout to use them with. I'm still working that out.

I bought these for my daughter-in-law who has been faithfully going to the gym. Little did I know we'd have the biggest snowstorm since the 1950's and snow upon snow afterwards. My girl was ecstatic. She has used her stuff every day and not missed a step. Great investment.

Product is ok not really me

Loved the VCR. But the antena is to flimsy and it broke really easily. I was really disappointed with that being in an apartment I had to move it to get a tv station. Wish they could make it more solid

I really like these. I ordered another set so I can use one with two wii motes and a nunchuck, without have to interchange the remotes/nunchucks. Sometimes wish I could get some just a little bit heavier, but have not found anything like that.

they're ok, but I think the numchuck dumbell should have a safety strap to stop the article from being thrown at the tv.

What can i say, it does what it say on the tin. I used these terms with my wii fit and boy did i feel it the next day. They are bigger than expected but they are really easy to use. Cant go wrong for a fiver really.

Item as described, get lots of use.

used with wii fit balance board and excercies helps when having to hold weight and control at same time very good

good arrived quick does wat says
