CTA Digital Releases Pushup Bar for Wii Fit™ Balance Board to Increase Workout Effectiveness

Online, March 22, 2010 (Newswire.com) - BROOKLYN, NY - CTA Digital (www.ctadigital.com), a leading provider of accessories for video game consoles, including Wii™, has announced the launch of the Pushup Bar for the Wii Fit™ Balance Board. This latest Wii accessory in CTA's Exergaming lineup allows users to take their pushup routines to the next level for a more challenging workout.

Pushups are an integral part of any fitness routine that builds stamina and muscle, but until now, Wii Fit™ users did not have the proper equipment to truly benefit from doing pushups on their balance boards. The Pushup Bar attaches securely to the top of the balance board. The parallel handles allow users to perform deeper pushups for a more effective workout. The removable handles can be positioned for three different pushup modes.

"The Pushup Bar is great for people with broad shoulders, since it helps balance the weight," said Frank Espinoza of the Product Design Team at CTA Digital. "You can place it on top of your balance board and grip the parallel handles. Because of the additional height you can go deeper than you would if you do pushups without the bars - hence increasing their effectiveness."

The Pushup Bar for the Wii Fit™ Balance Board is compatible with several games, including the popular Biggest Loser™ series. Wii™ and Wii Fit™ supported games include New U Fitness, Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus, Jillian Fitness Ultimatum 2009, and Jillian Fitness Ultimatum 2010.

It is available at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Push-Up-Bar-Nintendo/dp/B0035DN7JK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1268830357&sr=8-1) and other retail outlets, such as Target, Wal-Mart, Best Buy and more.
