How many calories does a Shake Weigh burn?

I read that it burns about 16- 18 calories a minute but I assume that varies...I use one too!

Lol solid first post... Going on the stepmill with 20lb weights on your back with the speed as high as possible probably burns about 16-18 calories a minute. Sitting on the couch holding a vibrator errrr shake weight in your hand probably burns about 2 calories per minute.

Save your money, the shake weight is garbage. It's not going to "tone" your arms. You can't target fat loss.

The real benefit of the shake weight is that while you burn calories working out, your family burns calories by laughing at you. There really is something in it for everybody.

I like the way you think.

I work and go to school with a few female body builders and also used to go to church with quite a few others and they are A LOT more than toned... every female body builder i have ever met even the ones in the swim suit division have been bulky not just toned and make guys jealous of their muscle

It reduces your hip area by about two inches of wallet space.

Not sure on the calories- that's what brought me here too. But I just wanted to add my input towards the shake weight. I'm a nursing student and barely have time for anything- especially a workout. What I do is use the shake weight about 3-4 times a week (every other day), and on days that I do find time for a workout, I use the shake weight and 10 lb dumbells (which I do for about 10 minutes), and I have noticed a difference worth mentioning after adding the shake weight to my workout

Take it or leave it, laugh at it, do what you will. All I know is that I have toner arms now!

Good luck to those who use it- I love it!

Then you know some very weak and pathetic men.

I use my "shake weight" any chance I can.

I bought one on impulse without really researching it, but I figure that if you do it while you're sitting on the sofa or waiting for laundry to dry it's better than nothing. A few calories burned is better than just sitting. Of course this is in addition to a regular exercise routine when you have a bit of spare time, like 5 or 10 mins but not enough for a real workout....I'm trying to start a new healthier lifestyle from a mostly sedentary one. I'm hoping it goes well.

I don't know how many calories burned, but I know it works. I am 56, used it faithfully before being injured in a car wreck. I had armpits for the first time in years. Only those with flabby arms will understand that.
