Ellen DeGeneres Tests the Shake Weight

Last week talk show host and stand-up comedian Ellen DeGeneres featured new workout equipment on her show – the Shake Weight. DeGeneres, who is a notorious infomercial addict on the lookout for new hot products for her talk show, demoed the tool and even asked her guest, Queen Latifah, for her thoughts.

The Shake Weight uses a technology called Dynamic Inertia. The shaking movement of the dumbbell fires up your arm, shoulder and chest muscles, and apparently you only need to use it for 6 minutes every day to feel results.

“An independent scientific study shows that the Shake Weight causes over 300% more EMG activity than the traditional dumbbells of the same weight,” a statement on the Shake Weight’s website says. “This is a result of the unique motion of the exercise, isometric contraction of the entire upper body required during use of the Shake Weight and the rapid pace of the muscle fatigue caused by one unique movement.”

Interesting contraption. My advice is to stick to walking to lose weight.
