Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-06-27 Summary: a good start to your diet plan ... These weights have a nice feel to them (more comfortable than vinyl, for the same price), but like the above reviewer said, they only work if you use them. 5-lb weights are very suitable for beginners to purchase. It may be heavy at first, but as you get stronger, 3-lbs will get too light. 5-lbs will also get the toning done, without bulking you up. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-05-06 Summary: Nice weights for exercise classes ... Package came promptly and was well-packed to prevent any damage on other items. My wife loves these and says the weight is perfect for her excercise class. The weights are easy to hold. Perfect texture and grip size. The only improvement I can suggest would be to make the ends "edged" (instead of rounded) to help prevent them from rolling everywhere while driving. Otherwise, you could just put them in a gym bag. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-07-28 Summary: I really like this product ... I've had my Shake Weight for men for 2 days now and so far I really like it. The 6 minute DVD workout really does make your muscles burn! And my arms definitely swell up after wards just as if I'd been lifting weights. I can't say what the effectiveness will be in the long run but I don't see how this couldn't beef someone up. One thing I'll say is that I don't really feel a workout in my chest. I may have felt a little soreness there today but not much. The workout DVD goes over 3 workouts and the Shake Weight comes ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-07-21 Summary: Do Not be Put off by Negative Criticism! ... Ok, here's the truth as I have no agenda to either endorse or kill this product: I allowed myself to get a bit out of shape and as I have finally turned the corner and making marked improvements in my diet and physique, I noticed that my upper arms were flabby, and I allowed them to become weak. I was skeptical of this product, but I decided to give it a try. When I did the first 6 minute workout, I managed to breeze through it, and I foolishly believed I was in better shape than I thought. The next day however proved ...more
