Body Blade

I came across an infomercial for the Body Blade and while I rarely buy from infomercials..(once every 2 years) this caught my eye.
I have tried it twice now and it really seems to give a great overall toning session in just minutes.

Just wondered if anyone else had one?

Really no different than the "Shake Weight". Heck hold any weight out in front of you for a few minutes and your shoulders, forearms and arms will burn. Don't fall for the hype. They do have their place in rehab, but if one can exercise normally, then you're better off using body weight exercises.

Actually it is different than a shake weight. I have one of those also. I just started using it last week and it works muscles in different sections of the body at one time. It truly fatiques my muscles faster than traditional exercise. Very efficient. I really like it.

It sounds you are looking for affirmation rather than opinion.

But the BB is mostly an infomercial gimmick. It is another case of a device invented for a specific use (from what I have seen, physical therapy) and then someone takes it and tries to invent a "need" for it in the general public.

Any "effects" are transient -- part of an initial adaptation to something new. The same with any new exercise--just because it "feels different" doesn't mean it is better -- or even as good -- as the modality it is replacing.

PS: and yes, the BB is pretty much the same idea as the shake weight (although the SW is actually copying the BB).
