You&#8217;ve probably seen their slightly NSFW commercial, and enjoyed a few laughs at their expense. I&#8217;ve actually been using the shake weight for about a week now, and let me tell you, it&#8217;s pretty serious business. Commercial after the jump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Shake Weight For Women Commercial\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fLF8-z6ZtlA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>First, a little info on this miraculous little dumbbell. The shake weight made it&#8217;s debut in 2009 and instantly became pretty popular because of it&#8217;s suggestive commercial visuals. (Dirty minds! All of you!) &nbsp;It weighs 2.5 pounds and has a built in spring on either end. Opposite to what some may believe, the shake weight is not a battery operated machine; you do all the shaking. It\u2019s based on what they call, Dynamic Inertia, and in just 6 minutes a day, it&#8217;s designed to work out your chest, arms, shoulders, and according to their commercial, &#8220;<em>the one area we girls have never found a solution for!&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Between work and getting things together for my upcoming wedding, extra time for a work out routine is definitely scarce. Because my wedding gown is strapless, I want to at least be able to show off some nice, toned arms. Lifting weights and doing pushups are not on my most-favorite-things-to-do list, but, I remembered that I still had the shake weight a friend let me borrow a few months back. I found one of their 6-minute training videos on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=q3kTo086e9o\">YouTube<\/a>, and made a life changing decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first work out was a complete wake up call. In a very un-lady like moment that I\u2019m not very proud of, I found myself cussing at the perfectly toned instructor just around the 4 minute mark. In my defense, she was smiling the whole freakin\u2019 time and making it look like a piece of cake! She wasn&#8217;t even breaking a sweat! In all seriousness, this thing really made me feel the burn, and fast. Because you\u2019re shaking the weight very rapidly, you\u2019re flexing your muscles, pretty much the entire time. My arms felt like jello by the time I reached the end of the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following day, as expected, my arms were sore. I dreaded the thought of getting home from work and having to go through the workout again. I stretched my arms a bit before starting, and halfway through the workout, I realized that my arms weren\u2019t in as much pain as I was expecting&nbsp; them to be in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-thumbnail\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/friedyoda.com\/noisecast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/shoulder-exercise-position.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" data-attachment-id=\"526\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.friedyoda.com\/noisecast\/2011\/02\/shake-weight-review-marimac\/get-sexy%c2%a0toned-arms-shoulders%c2%a0in-just-minutes-per-day-using-the-shake-weight\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.friedyoda.com\/noisecast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/shoulder-exercise-position.jpg?fit=468%2C378&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"468,378\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Get Sexy,\\u00a0Toned Arms \\u0026 Shoulders\\u00a0in just minutes per day using the Shake Weight!! \\nQuote - \\&quot;I use The Shake Weight every day and my arms have never looked so good, It really works!\\&quot; - Alex Gerrard.&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Get Sexy,\\u00a0Toned Arms \\u0026 Shoulders\\u00a0in just minutes per day using the Shake Weight!!&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Get Sexy,\u00a0Toned Arms &amp;#038; Shoulders\u00a0in just minutes per day using the Shake Weight!!\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Get Sexy,\u00a0Toned Arms &amp;#038; Shoulders\u00a0in just minutes per day using the Shake Weight!!&lt;br \/&gt;\nQuote &amp;#8211; &amp;#8220;I use The Shake Weight every day and my arms have never looked so good, It really works!&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; Alex Gerrard.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Shoulder exercise of death&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.friedyoda.com\/noisecast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/shoulder-exercise-position.jpg?fit=468%2C378&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.friedyoda.com\/noisecast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/shoulder-exercise-position.jpg?resize=150%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.friedyoda.com\/noisecast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/shoulder-exercise-position.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.friedyoda.com\/noisecast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/shoulder-exercise-position.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.friedyoda.com\/noisecast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/shoulder-exercise-position.jpg?zoom=3&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shoulder exercise of death<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As the week went on, I don\u2019t want to say the exercises became easier, but getting through them was more feasible. Out of the different positions taught in the training video, the shoulder exercise is the one I still can\u2019t get through without bursting a blood vessel in my eye. The act of recovery doesn\u2019t help in easing the burn either, but stretching afterwards is blissfully soothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m a believer in the shake weight, and I do recommend it if you have a very busy schedule and you\u2019re looking for a really quick, upper body workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for me, I&#8217;m going to continue using it, no matter how inappropriate it looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for the boys- <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buyshakeweightformen.com\/\">Shake Weight for Men!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Warning: website contains duckfaces<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Shake Weight is a popular workout tool that claims to tone your arms, shoulders, and chest in just 6 minutes a day.
