Shake Weight Tone for Women - 2.5lb Muscle Toning Dumbbell to Sculpt Your Arms, Shoulders & Chest All at The Same Time - Exercise Equipment for All Fitness Levels - Single Dumbbell Shaking Weight

This thing really allows you to isolate a full arm workout. It is a "Super Targeter" The ability to target each area of the arm is awesome; and you can see the muscles articulating, and slightly contracting. The work out on the DVD is nice for an all around work out for the arms; however I prefer to focus on my tricepts; & boy it's felt right away; there is no next day tension in the arms, you feel it while doing the exersize, but it is not uncomfortable; actually it feels really good. Not like being at the gym, when your are screaming, or grunting, trying to complete that last rep in pain. You go at your own pace, and whenever you want; even take it to work, and do a couple arm crunches on your brake. The hand bar seems to be the perfect girth for a man, but could be a little narrower, I have small hands. TIP: Do not hold the bar too tight, because it will shimmy, and woddle all over the place. Lightly, but securely, grip with your Thumbs, and index fingers, with the rest of your fingers wrapped around the bar just enough, so it wont slide out of your hand. Started to purchase 2 shake weights, because I know 2.5 pounds is not enough weight, for me. But what they don't clarify in the listing, is that the dumbell has 2.5 lbs. on each end. Believe me, that is plenty of weight for a satisfying workout, that will not bulk up your arms.

Bought it, watched dvd, did exercise with dvd on, 6 min., now typing with one finger on my left hand(I'm a righty), had surgery on Monday to repair damage caused by this product. Cost of product=====>$20.00, Cost of operation, loss of wages, 6 week recovery period=====>$23,000 and counting!!!!!!!! I am a registered nurse, in excellent health, exercise on elliptical trainer regularly,am able to follow directions to the letter, and STILL got a very serious and costly injury directly related to the use of this product. My job is to educate my patients on the use of various products to maintain their health and well being and I feel this product fails terribly in it's education to the user. There was the standard disclosure to check with your doctor before starting any exercise program but they fell short when it came to actual USE of the product. I have since found out that you should NEVER begin exercise of your upper body with this much weight initially and a gradual increase to allow your muscles to build up is absolutely required for ALL exercise programs. The Shake Weight does not allow for gradual increases and due to this it is a dangerous and potentially harmful product. I, for one, will be following up on it's continued presence in the marketplace and will hopefully have it removed from the marketplace to prevent further costly and painful problems to the consumer. Nurses educate but we also protect the public safety and I feel it is necessary for me to step up to the plate and see to it that a product that is injurious to the consumer be removed from public consumption.

I have some neck and back issues. I find this weight easy to use. You can shake it at your speed, fast or slow. Build muscle back up. The 30 min video has a decent range of motion and will help stretch you out. It does make you sweat and a couple of the movements on the 30 min video are harder to do. It will teach you some balance and coordination as you use it, because you shake and move at the same time. You do not just sit and shake it LOL. To be effective... it has a 6 min upper body video and a 30 min video that is for total body movement. It combines shake weight moves with traditional moves. Alternating 6 min easy daily video with 30 min (3 times a week) and a walking or other activity routine would be optimal. You should also watch what you eat. Shaking a weight will not help you reach your goals alone. But I feel this is worth the money. I've seen them range btwn 15 and 20 bucks. They also have ones is various colors now. It is a useful and relatively easy tool to have for re-strengthing yourself and getting off the couch.

I bought this product a month okay, and have been using it pretty consistently since. The bottom line is, I like it, and I don't regret my purchase. I don't think that it is a miracle product, though. As for the pros, it is safe, affordable, and convenient to use. Also, the DVD that comes with it offers good instruction. At first you may feel a bit of a burn, but after some time, most of the excercises do feel more natural. As for the cons, I don't think that it lives up to the hype. Sure, it may offer some tonage and some improvement of muscle strength, but it really doesn't feel like a well-rounded workout. This has become my commercial break gadget--it's a great thing to squeeze in throughout the day. Real definition and health benefits, though, take more dedication than the "six minutes a day" that the product claims is all you need. When I feel like a real workout, I'll do something else. Another con is that the weight can feel really awkward for some of the one-handed excercises. Not awkward as in an "I'm not strong enough to do this" but more a "this feels weird and unbalanced in my hand." As part of an overall fitness plan, I think it serves its purpose. I don't think that this product alone will deliver perfect arms, though.

At first, I was a little skeptical buying this product only because everyone thinks this product is silly, but you know what I like to try new things. I've been trying to find new ways to work out from home, and I thought this would be something Icould try. First of all I have too say is.... SILLY IS THE WRONG WORD FOR THIS PRODUCT! THIS WORKS! I absolutely love it! The shake weight came in three days before delivery date! WOOT! I started using this right away. You have to find a rhythm first before you actually feel like its working. I have seen the DVD and I liked some of the routines, but for 6 minutes a day for two weeks has done wonders. My arms are getting toned. This is so worth it. It's cheap and fun. If you want too try something different for at home workout definitely get the Shake Weight! It is so much cheaper on Amazon than at Target or Wal-Mart. It really works! You will see results sooner than you think :3

When I first heard about the shake weight dumbell, I thought it was a joke. Then I read about it and watched the video and saw that it would work in the areas that MY arms/shoulders need help with. I found it available thru Amazon.com (the actual shake weight site was too much $$$). When I use the dumbell, I can really feel the arms (upper, lower, flabby parts) truly are getting the muscles going and I have noticed some toning since beginning with it. 6 minutes a day doesn't sound like a lot, but when you start with this and haven't worked on your arms in a very long time, it feels tiring and as if you have been working those arms for an hour or so. I think I began at 2 minutes a day and have to reach the full 6 minutes in intervals over a 15 minutes period :) (If I was much younger, I probably wouldn't really need something like this to tone my arms and upper body, but being in my 50's, this seems to work for me.)

I received a previously used product that was not in original packing. The product is in poor condition from previous use. I was charged full price for a used weight, which is too much money. It may still work to tone muscles.

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!!! : ) Works everything from the neck down to the ankles, and this while I sit in bed propped up, doing exercises I made up that works my whole body as I was in bed most of the time over a 10 year period and could only have the energy to use it over 10 minutes at a time and started it while about 70 years old--will be 80 in a few months! Though so ill it kept my strong enough to be able to have muscles though so sick and weak from a bad illness--wrote about this in my review about the Hydrogen Water Bottle from Amazon. I recommend getting one and possibly 2, as can use it with both hands if want to. I recommend making up your own exercise program if to weak to do it as the instructions tell about. I got this one for my husband after I had been using one for women for a long time.

Muy bien

Celà fait 1 mois que je l'utilise (1 fois/jour) et mon bras commence à se muscler et à moins pendouiller... Il faut dejà apprendre à bien s'en servir en regardant le DVD car c'est vous qui le faites vibrer et non l'inverse!...il faut fournir des efforts mais grace au DVD c'est tres sympa de faire ces exercices en meme temps que le coach et celà ne prend que 6 mn ! L'haltere tient bien en main , est tres jolie et je trouve que c'est tres ludique .Je ne suis pas tres sportive mais j'adore faire les exercices...et je ne regrette pas mon achat. Je rajoute que je n'ai eu aucune douleur ni courbature et depuis que je l'utilise je n' hesite plus a remettre des robes sans manches(j'ai 52 ans)... Seul reproche : le DVD (anglais) aurait du etre sous titré au moins !!!

No box and no dvd...

l'ho comprato qui perché su altri siti il prezzo era esagerato... funziona se lo usi per più di sei minuti, cioè almeno senti l'acido lattico nelle braccia. Per me è difficile seguire l'esercizio orizzontale davanti all'addome, per il resto Good!! ;)

自分自身も効果絶大だったので、女房用に。 特に、女性は、腕、肩、首、背中まわりが弱いので、やったほうが。 とても軽いので、とっつきやすい、けど効率的で、効果は大。 荷物が重い、肩こりがひどい、筋肉をつけて解消！
