Was just wondering if anyone ever uses Shake weight dumbells? Apparently you use them for 6 mins a day and it helps get rid of flabby arms. I know im opening myself up to instant criticisms for even being interested in these 'fads' but reviews on amazon are very positive. I wanted to know if any you ever used them.

    =) seriously? I mean your question sounds serious, I just.. I can't stop laughing because your question reminds me of the South Park episode...

    No the shake weight is a gimicky turd, much the same way that the ab shocker was. To reduce the flab on your arms you have to reduce your bodyfat, and increase the SIZE of your arm muscles, which comes through weight training. Even with weight training, it will be hard for a woman to gain much size at all, so it's a tall order.

    =) and at the end of the workout, the shake weight would give encouraging statements, and then spit out change for the bus ride home, and then thank you. ROFL.

    The h@ndjob trainer..

    It gives you encouraging words like "yes" "that's it" "faster" "just a little longer", then gives you a cooling spray after your workout, and then spits out change for the bus ride home.

    OK- so I'm a little bit embarraassed to admit that i own it!! I didn't use them long enough to see results though. It was a pretty hard workout though. I just couln't stand the girl in the video. She was just too cheesy and thats what turned me off. But knock yourself out and try it. It couldnt hurt. Good Luck.

    Why spend money on a Shake Weight when you can do push-up variants that work the same muscles through a full range of motion for free?

    Dont knock it till you try it. Shake weight has now been incorporated into Bokwa and believe me it works and its bloody hard going. And yes at the end of the session we all have a good laugh at the South Park rendition ;-)
