Shake Weight Jerking Sucks [Fitness]

The infamous Shake Weight -a fitness contraption it’s presupposed to make your arm muscles stronger and make you look ridiculously stupid even as-is useless, says Wired UK:

Jerking this 5-pounder only got our max heart rate up to 114, which pales when compared to a customary weightlifting session, let alone back-to-back sets of push-ups. More importantly, after a couple of days of use, our muscles didn’t feel nearly as sore as they do from weightlifting. And, as everyone knows: no pain, no gain.

I suspected that much but, to be honest, that’s sad to grasp that I’ve devoted countless hours to an exercise that doesn’t burn any significant calories. If I had a Shake Weight , i’d totally return it. [ Wired UK ]
