It’s no news that I’m a sucker for infomercial products. Although I’ve not had a lot of success with my past “as seen on tv” buys, I just keep doing it. Electronic Ab Belt (purchased in 9th grade)…let down. Ab roller…fail. Bump It…big time fail.
Don’t worry, it’s not an addiction. I don’t even do it all that often…probably just one more time per year than most normal human beings. So Sunday when we were in the checkout line at Wal-Mart I just couldn’t resist the “Shake Weight” staring me down from the ASOTV display. If you’ve seen the commercial you CANNOT tell me you weren’t somewhat intrigued! It looks like fun and all you have to do is shake!
I’m not declaring any victories yet but after day 1 of shakin’ the flab away, I have to say I think this one may actually be worth the $19.99 I spent on it. I barely made it through the 6 minute dvd and my arms were complete jello. This thing is hard!!!
So Since I’m obviously having a hard time updating blog, I will at least make an effort to update you all on the results of my latest impulse buy. Arms of steel are in my near future…I can feel it! 🙂

Vanessa says
