I haven’t gotten it yet since it only became available this week but, from the image, it looks like there is a plastic platform that attaches underneath the Balance Board and adds an extra four inches in height.  That’s a huge difference.

Of course, I worry about the stability of it but I’ll have to wait until I test it out.  Either way, it looks less intimidating than that skateboard mount I wrote about a few days ago.

In addition to the step activities, this could really enhance your efforts if you do any of the strength training levels in Wii Fit as well as the boxing ones in EA Sports Active.

Aerobic Step Attachment for Wii

In case it’s not clear from this image, the Wii Riiser adds up to four inches onto you balance board, making step games much more challenging. 

If you’ve ever played Wii Fit then you’re probably familiar with the basic step and advanced step.  I think adding height to my balance board for these activities will really enhance the workout.  Also, there are the strength training exercises where only one foot is on the board and the other is on the ground.  If the board is higher, you should feel it more in your legs. 

The only problem with the Wii Riiser is that I’ve read that is only being shipped to U.S. addresses.  Hopefully, they find a way to get around that because I’d love to buy one!
