3. Wii Fit Plus A favourite for the whole family. Nintendo has put fun back into fitness. Once purchasing the Plus you may have to invest in some accessories but this it still a better option than purchasing individual games.

4. Perfect Pushup We all know what they are and we all hate to do them. The Perfect Pushup comes with rotating cushioned handles, for comfort, and a ball bearing design that lets your arms rotate naturally. The base has a nonslip base for stability.
