Wii Push Up Bar Takes Your Pushup Workout to the Next Level

Pushup is a popular form of exercise, both for men and women. It is an easy and effective way to gain strength for the pectoral muscles, shoulders, and arms. It can be performed almost anywhere, under any conditions, and by almost anyone. However, some people find it too difficult to do pushups, especially when they are doing them all wrong in the first place. So if you are new to do this form of exercise and you have Wii Fit balance board at home, then might as well get the Wii Push Up Bar to take your pushup workout to the next level.

The Wii Push Up Bar is an accessory made specifically for the Wii Fit balance board. It attaches securely to the top of the balance board (with foam under platform), so you can grip the parallel handles firmly and go deeper than you would when you do pushups. If you are not able to raise your body higher to perform pushups using the traditional way, then this Wi-Pub will certainly do the trick. Plus, you can convert it to three different push up modes, too. All you have to do is to pop out the removable handles, connect them to the board, and that’s it. By using three different modes, you can certainly perform more effective pushups for a truly successful workout.

So stop doing workouts the traditional way if you have a Wii Fit balance board that can help you do your pushout workout more effectively. Just pair it with the Wii Push Up Bar and you’re off to a more enjoyable pushup routine.

Top 7 Hottest Cars: Geneva Motor Show 2010

The last 80th International Geneva Motor Show was a perfect glimpse of the future of automobile world; and the future looks bright and green. Aside from the lovely motor show booth babes, this event showcased the meanest and the cleanest in the auto world. For those who missed this big event, here’s a quick look of the Top 7 Cars of the 2010 Geneva Motor Show in no particular order.

The first on the list is a spider that can charm even the most fearful arachnophobic – the new Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid, an open two-seater plug-in hybrid sports car with fluid-cooled lithium-ion battery. This predator of the road features a modern slipstream carbon fiber design that can go from 0-100 km/h in well under 3.2 seconds. It can reach maximum speeds up to 320 km/h and ironically consumes only 3L/100km worth of fuel. That roughly translates to 70 grams CO2/km – not bad for a beast running on a powerful V8 engine.

The next car is one of Italy’s’ pride – the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, an aerodynamic five-door hatchback with enough dynamic and comfort features to remind you why you like Italy, pizza and spaghetti. The base model runs on a 1.4-liter MultiAir turbocharged gasoline engine while the higher Cloverleaf models run on a 235 horsepower 1.75-liter turbocharged gasoline engine.

The third car is the Mercedes F800 Style Concept, a spacious five-seater “green” sedan that can run on either Plug-in Hybrid or fuel cell alternative drive system. It’s powered by a 300hp direct injection V6 gasoline engine and a 109hp hybrid module that can run the car on pure electricity for 18 miles.

Next on the list is a brand that can be readily associated with The Transporter. Yes, it is Audi and they have a new car that every transporter would talk about. The Audi A1 features a squat body, small overhangs, four customizable colors for the roof arches, ten body colors, LED and Xenon lights, and a fully customizable interior.

Fifth is the famous Italian stallion with a green makeover. Introducing the Ferrari 599 HY KERS prototype that features Ferrari’s latest regenerative braking technology integrated into seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and installed below the car’s center of gravity. This 40 kilograms KERS system can add over 100 horsepower to the car’s already monstrous V12 engine and can run the car on pure electricity for city driving.

Lotus also grabbed some well deserved attention with its Evora – a 1382 kg 3.5-litre V6 mid-engine sports car that can reach 100km/h in just 5.1 seconds and has top speed 261 km/h. This lightweight sports car only consumes 8.7 L /100km of fuel with carbon emission of mere 205 g/km CO2.

The final car on the list, Koenigsegg Agera, an ageless masterpiece of a sports car sculpted in carbon fibre with aluminum honeycomb and integrated fuel tanks. It is powered by a 4.7 liter V8 engine that can propel this 1290kg beast from 0-100km/h in 3.1 seconds.
There you have it, the Top 7 Cars from the 2010 Geneva Motor Show.
