this works GREAT! My upper arms have become more and more flabby over the years, and within just a few weeks, I see a shocking improvement. I also do the 6 minute workout daily (because of the positive results, I am very motivated to keep doing it), and mostly while watching tv, since it's an easy routine to remember. I also take it on vacation with me, since it doesn't take up that much room. I've seen the absurd comments about it being suggestive, but honestly, don't most excercises look silly when you're doing them? This works great

I admit I was one of those people who sent the Shake Weight video around as a joke to my friends the first time I saw it with the tagline: "Who the hell would actually buy this?!" I dismissed it as one of those stupid As Seen On TV products that are destined for landfills after a short-lived stint in some sucker's living room proved it a waste of plastic. Then I read a glowing review in a fitness magazine and I decided I had to give it a try. After three weeks, my arms are considerably stronger and more toned! My husband still makes fun of me when he sees me using it but I am enjoying my new muscular arms, so I guess I will have the last laugh! I recommend this product, but advise you to take it easy during the Shoulder Press exercise. If you feel pain in your shoulder - STOP and save yourself a serious rotator cuff injury!

The Shake Weight comes with a workout DVD for a 6 minute workout. I do it once a day while I'm watching TV (the workout is not hard to memorize). I usually cannot even do each exercise for the recommended time because my arms hurt so much. I took before pictures and after just one week of using it I took after pictures and my arms look amazing. When I flex there is actually muscle now and my triceps have great definition. I wish I could upload the pictures but I guess you can't do that. I even convinced one of my guy friends to get the men's version. Hopefully it will work just as well for him as it has for me!

I bought the Shake Weight because a friend had recommended it. It is actually working. My arms and shoulders have better tone. It also seems to be working on my upper abs and chest. I initially experienced the tired and sore muscles that you get when starting a new exercise program. Now the muscle soreness is gone and I have increased my workout time to the manufacturer recommendations. It's a television product that, to my surprise, works as well as advertised.

I was a little embarrassed about buying something so hokey expecting it to work a miracle. I have been using it six minutes twice a day. It took about two weeks to get up to six minutes, it's not that easy. I'm in my late 50's and my upper arms had no shape at all. I have tried free weights and toning exercises but any woman over 50 knows it's almost impossible to see results enough to stay motivated. It's been six weeks and my uupper arms look better then they have ever looked. I haven't worn a sleeveless top in decades, now I wear them all the time. Laugh and scoff all you like about this silly thing but if used every day you will get results. I now don't mind using heavier free weights to get more definition but I don't mind if I don't, I'm happy with no flab arms, definition or not.
