Fitness First Wrist and Ankle Weights

More workout add-ons with the Mel B seal of approval.

FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION

BLAZE team up with Mel B and Fitness First to bring new Wii Fit accessories to the Nintendo Wii

Doncaster, UK – 08/09/2010

Leading video game accessory manufacturer BLAZE is pleased to announce the latest Fitness First licensed product. Endorsed by healthy lifestyle advocate and global superstar Mel B, the Wii Fitness First Wrist and Ankle Weights add extra impact to your console based workout, leaving your hands totally free to use the controllers!

The New BLAZE wrist and ankle weights are specifically designed to ensure you get 100% out of your Wii workout, giving you the potential to work harder with every single movement of your arms or legs.

The Wrist weights have been developed with the help of fitness and health experts Fitness First, to weigh approximately 520 grams each, which was found to be the perfect weight to add resistance, without being too heavy, leading you to” burn out” before your session is complete.

The BLAZE Fitness First Wrist and Ankle Weights fit securely and comfortably to your wrists or ankles, allowing you to zone in on the area of your body that you wish to target. Whether you go for arms and upper body exercise, or if you want to focus on legwork, the weights can be easily changed over to fit on your wrists or ankles using the quick release velcro system.

Much research has gone into the materials from which the weights are made, resulting in the wrist and ankle weights being constructed from a soft, cushioned fabric which after a few minutes use, will feel like an extension of your body.

With the weights securely strapped around your wrists or ankles, this leaves your hands totally free to use the Wii controllers, enabling you to navigate the game menu, a luxury which is not usually possible using regular dumbbell style weights.

Of course, the BLAZE Fitness First Wrist and Ankle Weights can be used in any workout situation, whether at home in front of the latest Wii fitness title, or incorporating them into your regular jog to the shops.

The BLAZE Fitness First Mel B Wrist and Ankle Weights will be available in October 2010 and can be purchased from www.blazeeurope.com and leading video games stores for the low price of £9.99
