Has anyone used this or know anyone that does? Does it actually work?
No, it doesn't work. Go to the gym.
It's times like this I wish I had access to my /fat/ folder
If you do an incredible amount of reps with a small amount of weight, your 1RM will be astronomical. You can then do power liftan and win world records.
you mad?
I think this is better suited for general chat! *moves*
And to answer your question, I'm sure it's good exercise for your arms, but there are more efficient and less silly ways to do this.
It didn't work for you? Were you pumping it up and down as shown in the instructional video? You can't pump too hard or else it will get overworked and stop responding. And too slow will get you no movement at all. You need to do long, broad strokes to get off that great workout.Quote:

I, on the other hand (no pun intended), have been shake weighting since I was 13.
Will it make your arms tired holding it for a while? Probably. Is it good exercise for your arms? I doubt it.Quote:

It works about as well as anything else: if you really seriously use it, you might see results, but if you just dick around with it you will not.
It's not nearly as heavy as it looks in the commercial, and it's not battery operated like most people seem to believe it is. It's just a piece of plastic with a grip that you jiggle back and forth.
I can't imagine it's at all better than actual weights. Get yourself a few different sizes of weights, or a resistance band or two, at Wal Mart, and then download P90X and you'll see results much faster.
>p90x
>not FN P90
You sound quite familiar with the motion, spend a lot of time jerking weight?Quote:

I prefer cleaning and jerking bc its good full body workout esp if you go through full motion. for you julie id start with something smaller like just yourself.Quote:

you'll have to show me how first.
If you really set on losing weight then I would first suggest watching this:
YouTube - How To Lose Weight - How to Start - Healthy Weight Loss - Losing Weight The Hard Way Antishay Q&A
This I feel is the most important part of losing weight, watch it and commit to the plan, don't give up, don't give in, don't think "I will do it tomorrow" or "its to late to do it now, its night time, I will just do it in the morning" because the fact is, it is night time (or not) but who says that work outs can't be done at night, if I am honest every time I have worked out this past week, it has been done after everyone in my house has gone to bed, so when I am doing my squat jumps in the living room I don't have to worry about people coming in while I'm topless and sweaty, cause if I am honest, I am no slim jim, but once I have gotten down to a decent weight maybe I will do it during the day or who knows, I may do it at night AND day.
After you have watched this the proceed to watch this:
YouTube - How To Lose Weight Fast Home Workout - Quick Belly Fat Burning Exercises - Under 15 Minutes
I have committed to lose weight for my sisters wedding, for my personal health and to stop the endless jokes about my weight, I have been only doing it for about a week and if I am honest, this is the first time I have ever spoken to anyone about this, I just decided to do it off of my own back, I do the workout in the second video every day and so far even though its only been a week I find myself feeling really positive in my decision and (most importantly) I am working towards the goal of feeling good about myself again.
