Does anyone use a Bodyblade? What kind of results have you seen? I saw a demo lastnight and thought it might help with my flabby upper arms.

[hckynut]

Yep. Got the original one and the pair of the 2 smaller ones. Good for toning but that is the reason I bought them. One can get a full body workout with the one vertical blade exercise and if you can do it for over a minute I say a big congrats to you.

Use them often along with my Tony Little Body Shaper as both are very portable and can be used in about any position.

As for your triceps? The will definitely tone them and possibly increase the muscle size. If you are talking about loose skin it could help some depending on several factors. I took the chance on the original and it was money well spent for me.

Thanks for posting this question, JLF. I ordered one and am hoping for good results. Would love to hear about personal experiences. The reviews were good.

Thanks, I'm going to order one. I've got those old lady "bye bye arms" and refuse to wear sleeveless or short sleeved tops. I'm telling you, if I get a good swing going, I could really rap someone in the face! LOL I've gotta do something to get rid of that.

I bet, once it's here, my DH and possibly my son will want to use it to, so it won't be a waste of money.

Me, too, about not wearing sleeveless anymore. I hope it works as they show. I've already warned my DH that he's going to use it, too. I would think we should have a fairly good idea whether it's working or not before the 30 days are up. Fingers crossed.

I got the Bodyblade way back when it first came to QVC. I don't know where it is now, but I found it too boring to stick with. I also felt a little silly wiggling this "stick". I was actually surprised to see that it is still being sold on the Q, so there must be something to it. But, if you just want to tone your upper arms, all you really need is an 8-12 lb. dumbbell (cheaper than a bodyblade) or just do tricep dips (free!) off of a stair, or standard push-ups. No gizmo required.

great thread ... thanks!

i was looking at this product myself, and so i am interested in these responses too. i am seriously thinking of ordering this blade, specifically because i am a member of the old lady upper arm club.

i, however, still will wear sleeveless tops. i wear either 3/4 or elbow sleeve or sleeveless. to me, i think that the little bitty sleeve or a cap sleeve looks AWFUL on me. my arms actually dont look that bad in the sleeveless though. i think that the sleeve that hits halfway between the elbow and the shoulder just cuts my arm in half and draws way too much attention to those upper arms. in sleeveless, the problem area just seems to vanish on me.

What John said

That blade is deceiving. It is hard to do for long. I found I felt it more in my back though.

I am sure the position of your arm, and the position of the blade would make a difference in what it worked on? I am not sure.

Mine is "somewhere" in my house. Lost interest quickly.

I bought the Bodyblade for my son. He broke his elbow and required surgery. When he started PT, the physical therapist used the Bodyblade as part of his PT program. My son really benefitted from using it. I have to say that it is A LOT harder than it appears on TV during the demonstration! However, I'm starting to get the flabby arms so I'm going to have to ask his to pull it out so I can use it!!

Former DH, now passed, had one. I have no idea what happened to it. Probably got tossed. It was very difficult for me to use, and I don't know where it went after he passed. I do know it was a lot cheaper then, though. Maybe more like $30.00 cheaper!!!!
