It works great. I’ve had it for a few months and have been using it daily. I don’t watch the video as I use it and I never use it as a dumb bell.

Hi Myriam,

Congratulations on making these changes, it’s not easy!

And I think your approach is spot on-most women get results if they combine the shake weight with other modalities.

By the way, what type of changes did you make to your diet? I think other women could really benefit from your insights.

Warmest regards,
Katherine Crawford

Hi Gino,

Yes, muscle needs to contract for you to build muscle and lose fat healthily. Having said that, there are different types of muscle contraction.

From what I’ve gathered, the shake weight seems to work best when combined with diet and other exercise modalities-not when used in isolation.

Warmest regards,
Katherine Crawford

I have one.it works well.i need to get a second one so I can use it as dumbells.i would use just one shake weight with dvd as instructed.i bought a denise austin&taebo dvd .2 weights is recommended with the dvds sotherefore I need another shake weight instead of one.i need extra arm movements instead of just 6minutes a day of arm workouts.I hear yall complaining of the 6minute workout. thats not enough.get an real exercise dvd.work your arms for 30 minutes a day,3times a week & u will see improvement.

Hi, I´ve using the shake weight about a month, and for me it really works, my arms have a better shape now.

But of course that isn´t my only workout, I use it every day, make some yoga or pilates, and avoid eating alot of fat, I really had to change my diet to start seeing results in my arms and all of my body, between I also go jogging, so I think this would work if you include some other activities to your workout.

Thank you so much, Myriam

Hi Darlene,

Since the pain is unrelenting I think you should see a doctor just to make sure everything is ok.

One thing that could be causing this is overuse. If you use your right hand a lot for computer work and on top of this you use the shake weight, your tendons could get inflamed.

Hope this helps and I hope you get better!

Warmest regards,
Katherine Crawford

Hi Jenna,

Glad to hear you are getting results!

Would you mind sharing what your approach has been? For instance, how long do you use it for? What movements work best for you?

Also, did you change your diet at all?

I think this information would be very helpful for others.

Warmest regards,
Katherine Crawford
