Shake weight

When I first started to lose weight, my skin was still pretty toned and tight, no bingo wings. I did notice the other day though, I did have a bit of flab, so decided to try to tone it up. I have mentioned the shake weight before, and so I decided to order one. It should be here tomorrow morning. You can then sit and imagine me doing this (get ya mind outta the gutter :lol: ).

I am SO pleased I hadn't taken a drink before I read that. I make sure I never do when I see a post from you, my poor screen got doused in coffee or green tea once a while ago thanks to you. :lol:
 
:lol: :lol: You guys are too bad

I'll have you know that the Shake Weight is surprisingly effective at toning the arms and upper body; the exercises can be done whilst sitting down, so might be suitable for people with mobility problems.
 
Jo, I really hope it works for you....meanwhile this thread has just given me the best diaphragmatic workout I've had in ages!

Maybe I should buy one.....

Bows :lol: Glad you ladies had a giggle, we all need that as well as low carbs high fat. :thumbup:

Ok, back to the shake weight, it arrived today complete with a complimentary CD which I just looked at in horror and put to one side. You always know a complimentary anything with exercise equipment is going to impress on you just how amazing the product is, and half kill you proving it! I just followed some simple instructions for a simple exercise on a sheet in the box. "SIX MINUTES A DAY WILL GIVE YOU THE TONED ARMS YOU ALWAYS WANTED" claims the leaflet, so I did 6 minutes. The following six minutes, and possibly the six minutes after that were spent trying to get some feeling back. It was only once my arms were usable again, did I lift the leaflet and read "The harder you shake the weight, the better the workout". I had given the **** thing hell, thinking it wasn't doing anything.

Lesson learned. Even an hour later, there is still a slight burn, not painful at all, perhaps just a reminder to take it slightly easier tomorrow.

Conclusion: It works!

PMSL!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Okay...I have one in 'Watching' I don't mind paying 99p for it plus shipping. I need to do something about my upper arms but I'm sceptical that I'll ever look like all of those Tiffanies on the above video!

Oh bu**er! I didn't think of ebay, I bought a new one from Amazon.

I am certain I will never have the arms of a young woman again without surgery, but this may well be a good alternative, just don't shake the **** thing too hard, or you find you can't use your arms. It is fun though, my daughters had a go and we all just fell about laughing, so it's a fun way to exercise at least. It also allows the Borofergie's of this world to have brains worse the the London sewage system, so a win win all round I think. :lol:
 
Do let us know how you get on with it.
I tried one once, borrowed from a personal trainer friend, but gave up, because Iwas scared my EIA would kick in from the vibration.

OK I have ordered one but if my teeth fall out with the vibrations I am holding you responsible Jo.
 

I thought the London sewage system was award winning? Built by those prurient, upright Victorians.......!

EEK - ok, ok firstly NO VIBRATIONS. It's not battery powered it works via inertia, so the more you work it the better the work out.

Sheesh, I have visions of the diabetes posse chasing me waving shake weights at me. :lol:

I really do like it. I can do a minute or two while sitting waiting for the kettle to boil, a phone call, whatever. I did do a straight six minutes this morning, and will do that each day, but as it is so simple, you can add time easily. Even sitting watching television you can be shaking. :lol:

I am starting a club for the elimination of bingo wings. :lol:
 
They were fine, thankfully :lol: I have been really busy today and not done my 6 minutes, but I will before bed.
