SHAKE YOURSELF IN TO SHAPE?

Have you seen Shake Weights advertised on infomercials? These 2.5 and 5 pound weights have molded plastic handles with springs at each end.

Researchers used electromyography testing to compare the Shake Weight workout to conventional exercises utilizing calisthenics (modified push-ups) and elastic resistance bands. For the chest and shoulders, the effectiveness of the Shake Weight exercises was inferior to the conventional exercises, and for the upper arms, it was about the same. In addition, the Shake Weight routine burned fewer calories than either the traditional exercises or walking at a pace of 3 miles per hour for the same length of time.
