Gold Gym adjustableankle/wristweights
Ok, welcome to The most pointless piece of exercise equipment I have ever used. This product is wrong on a number of levels. They are expensive, uncomfortable and also physiologically have more of a negative impact on training than a positive one. Let me explain.

WHY I LOVE THIS GAME
I recently bought this after buying the wii console from a catalogue. Its great to use and simple to use. There is no cables to trip over as its wireless and connects to the wii console using infrared. It has lots of fun activities for the whole family and allows you to workout in freedom of your own living room instead of having to pay out for expensive gym membership.

Ironically just a month after starting work I was ...
