    In summary: No. It's a scam.

    There is one sitting around the house you can have. My wife tried it once and didn't like it.

    For the same amount of money you can buy a pair of dumbbells and get a much better work out for your arms, shoulders, back and chest then you would with the shake weight.

    While you're at it then, get a Free Flexor. Use one in each hand. If your goal is having excellent HJ endurance, you will exceed them I'm sure.

    We have one, no one likes it. It's a weight so it works like a weight does, ours came with a little work out dvd so your not just sitting and shakeing it back and fourth. It is harder then a normal bumbell because it's harder to shake then you would expect. If you use it right it works great though. we just prefer our normal dumbells.

    Hope it helped. :)

    I have one. Have used it once. Felt massively embarassed!! (see youtube vids and you'll realised why!) Still intend to go back to using it though (when I eventually stop blushing at the thought!!) as I could really feel the burn on my arms, was definitely working those muscles!
