Shake Weight, the nation’s most talked about, best-selling and most parodied fitness craze, is the centerpiece of a newly-released independent study that proves the world-famous arm-sculpting device is no laughing matter.
FitnessIQ, marketers of the Shake Weight, today disclosed findings of a scientific study conducted by Dr. Jeffrey M. Willardson, an Associate Biomechanics Professor at Eastern Illinois University (EIU). The study evaluated the effects of incorporating a six-minute Shake Weight routine in the warm-up sessions of three Division I collegiate athletic teams, measuring the device’s impact on performance. The study demonstrated that athletes across all three sports, including baseball, volleyball and soccer, improved reaction time by 10% to 17%.

To help bridge this gap, Crest Pro-Health and actress, author, and health advocate Marilu Henner are committed to educating older adults about the importance of gum health during the 2nd annual National Gingivitis Awareness Month this September.
