I was asked to try one and review it for another website, so I thought some of you might be interested in what I thought of it.

My review shows up as a comment, after the description on the website:

I'm sorry but I think the shake weight is one of the funniest pieces of fitness equipment that I have ever seen! It is also one of the most phallic symbols that I have seen, especially when they show the demonstrations on how to use it in the informercials! I think they're so hilarious though and I would give anyone, male or female, A LOT of credit if they busted one out and started using it while sitting on a bench at the gym!

And the above commercials are the official ones.. no spoofs!

Oh, and great review Marcia.. you hit it right on the head! (no pun intended) With that little amount of resistance, the shake weight is virtually doing nothing but giving your wrists and forearms a wee little bit of work.

I totally agree about the phallic thing. I didn't mention it becaue it would've changed the tone of the review

It is just so wrong.
