Found this on Ign, a prototype for working out with wiiSports!:

February 8, 2007 - I have a vague memory, probably from when I was about 4, of playing with some bright purple sandbag "Heavy-Hands" that were all the rage for the aerobics and jogging set back in the '80s. History tends to come full circle I guess, because the heavy hands are back, baby. Conforming to the conceits of our modern age, the new Wii-Weights forgo '80s purple for techy-white, but little else has changed from the classic design.
The concept is actually just a prototype for the time being, but since the Wii is rapidly becoming a mass-market fad much like the exercise craze of the '80s, we wouldn't be surprised to see it become a reality. Each pocket is designed to hold a pound of sand for up to a total of 4-lbs. The whole apparatus straps upon the wrist to make flailing through a match of Wii Sports Tennis a proper workout instead of a game of Russian roulette between your Wiimote and TV screen. Is it wrong to be strong? You be the judge.

What do you think of this?
