Our previous post about Wii Fitness Games received quite a bit of attention. Given the success of the Wii Fit, this did not surprise us. But since, there is so much interest, we wanted to do some follow-up.

If you like the Wii Fit, we suggest you pre-order EA Sports Active. We think this could be even better than the Wii Fit. Read this post for more information.

Another game that a reader suggested was We Cheer. This quasi dance game is supposed to provide a great upper body workout. We have not tried it, though.

One reader inquired about riiflex, a dumbell that encloses the Wii remote. The theory is that by adding weight to the remote, you will get a better workout. The problem is that not every excerise or movement should be done with weights, and even adding just 2.5 pounds to the remote could result in undue strain on your muscles or joints.

Certain exercises are great with weights, while others are not. We would avoid the riiflex unless a game is designed specifically to use them.
