Wii Fit Accessories - 5 Must Have Accessories For Your Wii Fitness
Lying directly on the floor while doing some of the exercises on the wii can both be unpleasant and hurt you. A yoga mat for your wii fit should be one of the first accessories you should order for your wii fit. It will make yoga and weight training so much easier.
If you own a wii fit you will know that it's proably turned on for quite some time every day (everybody loves it, right). The problem is that the batteries run out if you don't have time to recharge them. That's why an extra battery + battery recharger would suite you perfect.
There are a number of wii fit accessories that you proably didn't knew existed, but would be perfect for your needs. Take a look at the following items and see if there is anything that would catch your interest.
1. Wii Fit Bundle & Wii Fit Workout Kit
The two biggest packages you can buy for your wii fit as extra is the bundle and the workout kit. These two packages are litterary stuffed with items that will make your workout so much more easy and fun.
The workout kit is more aimed towards serious fatloss, while the 5 in 1 bundle kit is more allround.
Here is what the workout kit contains:
1 rechargeable battery pack
1 wii fitness workout mat
2 2lb dumbbells
1 workout towel
2 wristbands
1 waterbottle
charging cables
As you can see, the workout kit is pretty serious. It differs a bit from the wii fit bundle which contains:
1 rechargeable battery pack
1 USB charging cable
1 Jeli sleeve
1 fitness mat
1 travel bag
1 pait of wii foot socks
I found these two accessories on amazon and I guess it's the easiest way to get hold of them. Here are links to the two items on amazon. Enjoy!
2. Wii Fit Balance Board Skins & Sleeves
Most people who have these either use them for protection or to improve the grip on the balance board. Some wii fit games, like arobics for example, can damage the balance board if you use too much force. If you use a skin for protection, this will not happen. These skins protects the board from scratched as well.
Some people use these skins and sleeves for grip as well. Some of the exercises like yoga is really tough and you get sweaty. It's not fun to slip and fall while doing an advanced yoga pose.
The grip is also good when you are doing the hand stand position on the board. You feel so much more secure with a grip skin on.
These skins and sleeves come in a wide selection of colors. I guess it's a matter of personal style and taste when choosing one.
I went around the net and found the most colors and brands on ebay and amazon. I personally like the slimey green color the most. Below are the product listing from amazon.
3. Wii Fit Travel Bags & Cases
A travel bag is great if you like to play with your friends but find it difficult to actually transport it. There are quite a number of these bags of all shapes and sizes.
While a traveling bag is not for everyone, you should really consider using a storage case when you are not using your balance board. Dust, pets and small children can really do some damage to it if it's left unwatched. These storage bags are mad out of hard plastic and they don't break in the first place.
Like the previous accessories I found the widest selection at amazon and i've added the listing of that places here.
4. Wii Yoga & Fitness Mats
A mat is one of the must have wii fit accessories in my opinion. Doing yoga on a hard cold floor isin't my highest recommendation. You will save your knees and your back if you use a protective yoga mat. Some of the yoga poses requires you to lie on the floor, and using a yoga mat will take any pressure off your body.
The yoga mats that are out there vary both in size and color. I found one mat that came with wrist weights that could improve your exercises.
These mats are made out of 3 layers of rubber, making the mat both durable and flexible. The rubber is also enviromentally friendly.
The yoga and fitness mats are really comfortable. You can find the different models below.
5. Wii Fit Batteries & Battery Rechargers
The wii fit likes to drink batteries, and it likes to drink them up fast. If you use your wii fit a lot, you proably lack the time to recharge it properly. You don't have to worry about that if you have an extra battery recharger. You can charge one battery while you are using the balance board, then when the battery in the balance board runs out, simply change it and continue playing.
The good thing about these recharging devices is that you can use them while you play, and it wont interfere with your playing.
You will find the different battery recharger models below.
