Every time I think I’ve seen it all, a new ridiculous fitness gadget comes out on the market. Now there is the Shake Weight! I don’t even know where to start with this one. When I first saw this I didn’t think it was real. I thought it was a joke and a skit from SNL. If someone thinks they will get toned arms using this gadget, then I don’t know what to think. The website states the following “get strong, sexy, sculpted arms”. Whatever! The website also states “An Independent Scientific Study shows that the Shake Weight™ causes over 300% more EMG activity than the traditional dumbbells of the same weight”. Do most people even know what EMG (electromyogram) activity is, and who funded this independent study?
Perhaps this device might be useful for someone who is bedridden! Why not just us free weights? What's interesting is that the ads show women with toned and muscular arms using the Shake Weight. Do people really think they got those arms by using this device?
All I can say is don't waste your money. Why not just pick a bottle of Coke and shake it? Afterall, that may be more useful than drinking it!
