many tools have their place in the gym but some are realy bad for you or just don't do anything.
an item as light as the "shake weight" at 2.5 lb is going to be useless for working the targeted muscles except posibly for endurance in completing that movement 
and the "scientific study" only compares it to a DB of the same weight and the homepage has no links to actual study results and conditions. |
Geez, 2.5 lbs is that all? When I read 2.5 lbs, I was actually thinking 2.5 kg which is also lightweight, but my mistake made them heavier and they were still light even through my thinking error
I know pilates and other exercies employ a method of moving a small distance, barely negligible movement, and it appears to work...maybe they designed it on the same basis, still not for me though
