I don’t watch tv anymore so I have no clue what people are talking about. i saw this contraption in a ROSS which is where you’d find these things if unsure about buying one. It seems to offer the same sort of workout you’d get from shaking any weight. If you want a real passive workout get one of those electrode things that contract muscles electrically, I’ve heard those work, but I don’t think they burn fat, they just build muscle.

Personally, I was not deluded into believing the Shakeweight vibrated itself. Bought one 18 mo ago, male size, and used if fairly regularly from March to Sept. Went on vacation in Sept. rockhounding. Found a tremendous increase in my stamina using my 10 lb sledge hammer. Go through the routine once a day while preparing dinner, works for me.

who cares how u look using it? its not like u have to go walking down the street advertising it…and if it works then it works you cant compare it to a dumbell because its not a dumbell. if you perfer a freakin dumbell then use a freakin dumbell when your done using the shake weight, and if ur just gunna talk about how homo it looks then why are u looking up shake weights anyway…

i have always wanted a shake weight, and i am hoping it works. heck for 6 minutes a day, ill try it!! i do eat right and exercise regularly so this would be a push. i used to workout alot in high school, but now that i have graduated my muscles turned into fat and its hard getting it back after years of working out. now i hardly have the time to workout as much cuz im always working or going to school or studying. im hoping i can do the 6 minute shake weight workout during one of my homework breaks…. does anyone know where they sell them the cheapest? please let me know

wow how did all these people beneath me think that it was “mechanical” did u watch the commercial? the shake weight was designed based off of a inertia stick people use in rehab to work there muscles without overdoing them. “diceptive” ha more like ignorant viewers.

Next time try watching TV not starring at it

“There is no such thing as a ‘toned’ muscle, that is, a muscle that is somehow superior to another muscle of the same type and size. Bigger muscles are stronger muscles”

This is simply not always the case. There are way more factors to strength than the size of muscles themselves. Bruce Lee clocked in at a mere 145 pounds and yet was stronger than a majority of men he encountered. Most bodybuilders have a lot of mass but don’t really have much practical strength due to isolation exercises that only stimulate the muscle fibers with ONE range of motion (90% of which are never recreated in real-life situations). I may be beside the point you were making, but there’s a lot of mis-information in this area.

I have used the shake weight for only 1 week at the moment and I have got to say, yes its hard work making the thing shake but thats where the effort comes in and thats when you notice results, when i have finished my exercises I can honestly say it does feel like I have been training longer. I have noticed where my weaknesses are when using the shake weight and if you do as the instructional dvd tells you especially when you do your arms, if you try a little harder and a little longer on your weaker arm it will improve and you will see and feel the results.

Yeah people do mock the shake weight because it looks stupid when you are using it, but if its too easy and you cant feel anything or see the difference then work it harder, at the end of the day I have noticed the harder I work the more pain I am in at the end of it and the better the results I see.

So to summerise the shake weight, use it correctly using the correct stance and get your balance right and make sure you are only moving a couple of inches each way depending on exercise, make it shake which depending on your size can be hard, if you can not feel anything then you are clearly not working it hard enough.

Hmm now that I think about it, maybe this product appeals to the closet masochist in the average ignoramus. Afterall, it’s nothing but a self-torture device. Pain with no gain…

The shake-weight simply wears you out a little faster than holding your arms straight out for a few minutes does. Try it, hold your arms straight out from your body (like you’re playing airplane). You probably won’t be able to hold them up for more than a few minutes. Afterwards your ams will burn like hell. But you’re not excersizing, you’re just damaging your muscles. Without proper resistance you’re just tearing your muscles, then they heal to the same proportion they were when you damaged them. If you want muscles that you tear with excerise to actually increase in size when they heal then you have to tear them with WEIGHT (resistance!). There is no such thing as a ‘toned’ muscle, that is, a muscle that is somehow superior to another muscle of the same type and size. Bigger muscles are stronger muscles If your muscle is the same size before working out for a while as it was before, then you have acheived nothing.

And those women who have posted comments here who think that the shakeweight, or ANY weight for that matter, will make that arm skin that flaps around after you lose a bunch of weight, suddenly spring back into shape magically, its NOT GONNA HAPPEN. The only way to get rid of excess skin is to cut it off, and those operations aren’t cheap. Ask anyone who has lost a large amount of weight…

If you people want to shake your shakeweights till the cows come home, have at it, if you think it’s working then it’s providing you with psychological comfort at least. Delusion can be beneficial if it masks stress or depression….
