Default Wii Weights for excercising

A friend of mine actually tried this already with some training weights...

I've tried using training weights and the 'official weights' are more designed for ankles than hands. If you imagine doing a punching action they are just going to slide up and down yours arms, very uncomfortable.

I'd recommend a pair like these

Nike Wrist Weights

They are what I use, the thumb loop prevents them from sliding around but it still leaves all your fingers free.

If you want to use weights with your Wii, you might as well do it properly
