I was keen to try the Shake Weight after a friend in the States reported a measurable improvement in her upper arms, chest and shoulders after only a few weeks of daily use. What appealed to me the most was that it only took six minutes - and, believe me, once I started using it, I wouldn't want to do it for seven! I'm no gym bunny so I found it quite a vigorous work-out. The DVD is clear and informative and the toned female demonstrator (Lynsey) is a qualified personal trainer. You can tell this from her use of phrases such as "Great Job!" and "Now for an active recovery!". Although the workout only takes six minutes and the exercises are simple, it IS quite important to do them correctly i.e. gripping the weight firmly at all times, keeping the wrist straight and the arms and elbows at the correct height and distance from the body. Fortunately this is clearly demonstrated on the DVD. I've been doing the workout on an average of five days per week for about four weeks now and I have already started to see an improvement. My sagging under-arm area is firming up and I have increased muscle tone in the bicep/tricep area. My posture is also improved and I have also noticed increased strength in my upper body. It's not a miracle cure; it is hard work and you do have to be persistent. One thing though: it's very important to combine this (and indeed any) exercise with healthy eating. There's no getting away from that if you want to see fast results. On the whole, a great value-for-money product, no batteries required,and it does what it says on the box.

Easy to use, quick daily exercise, only had it for a couple of weeks but already feeling benefit.

The shakeweight is great, the workout is only 6 minutes so takes no time at all, some days I do it twice. I have really seen a difference in my upper arms. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to target this problem area. Well worth the money.

I can certainly feel a difference, in my arms, abs and stomach! Would highly recommend it.

I purchased the shake weight 2weeks ago and have been using it every other day or so, with the CD which comes with. I have noticed a real difference in my arms, and since remeasuring my arms I have already lost 1 inch from my biceps! This is amazing :D, I suggest mixing up your routine slightly though as the cd workout can get boring. I can really feel the burn after a workout and think that if anyone is giving bad reviews here its because they are not using it correctly. Cheap and easy way to tone up girlys! love it

Bought a couple for female relatives and they love them, also they say using the DVD when using the Shake Weight is a bonus helps them to cover all the exercises GREAT.

The 6 minute workout is in fact 10 minutes long according to my player. I also spent even longer than that completing the routine while I paused for a short break and to remove some layers. This will make you sweat if you're putting your all into the workout, and it's important to listen to the instructor on the video because she explains how to make the workout more intense through arm positioning and speed if you need more intensity for a burn.

This is not something you simply hold. It has no power and works on a spring mechanism that you shake. It can be difficult to control if you don't hold your arms correctly as the weight moves about. That is how the workout is achieved. This is not easy, but it isn't difficult either. If you don't have a lot of stamina, then you may want to take breaks between positions.

Definitely better than a regular dumbbell, although there is not so much weight to it that you can effectively use it like a regular one. The shaking motion is what makes this work.

Also, if you're not familiar with muscle names such as 'abdominal muscles' then you may want to look them up so you are tightening and squeezing the correct ones when prompted.

I hope this review helped.

The shake weight is great. I've only been using it a few weeks and I feel it is going to be great in helping tone my upper body.

Very pleased with this purchase and have recommeded to friends and family.

ive been using the shake weight for over a year. can really say it has toned my arms and give me definition.. you have to really put effort into it when you shake it. you can feel the burn the only thing is the instructer her arms are so pumped up she cant have got arms like that with the shake weight. i would recommend though as i am happy with my arms.

Was looking for something to tone my flabby arms up and this does just that, short 6 minute wirkout everyday and u will see the difference, comes with a dvd aswell :) U can even sit down and use the shake weight.
