Reviews of the Firm Wave
December 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Many of my clients have seen the Firm’s Wave Personal Gym and have asked me to review it. They know I have a similar piece of kit called the TBow and thought I would be the ideal person to advise them on the Wave. I was curious to see if the Wave was any good for the average at home exerciser.
The T-Bow and the wave are both curved to enable them to be used curved side up or down. If placed curved side down it’s unstable and you can rock on it. If placed the other way you can stand on it and use it like a step. This way you can use it to step up and down (a normal step), enhance your stretching routine, with a cheap exercise band add many strength training exercises and by using only your body weight you can so exercises like press-ups, squats and lunges.
Turn the Wave over and place the curved side down and you have an unstable platform from which to rock or walk your way to a fantastic fat burning workout. You can also perform a rocking movement which really hits the spot, use the Wave length ways and walk your way fit, strengthen Abs and core and use it with a resistance band to make your workout more challenging.
One of the Wave’s claim to fame is that it can burn three times as much fat as other pieces of cardio equipment. Hmm three times as much I can’t say but it will give you one of the hardest and most challenging cardio workouts you’ve ever had. As a beginner I would expect you to be sweating and breathless in less than 5 minutes.
Considering you can do over 100 exercises on the Wave including fat burning cardio, strength training and sculpting it’s a well rounded piece of equipment. The Wave comes with 4 DVD’s to ensure you get the best from it, an exercise mat, The Firm’s Wave, wall chart and a healthy eating guide. All for less than $100. Compared to the TBow it’s not as well constructed but for home use this won’t be a problem.
Don’t be tempted to think this is just another exercise gimmick it’s not. The Wave will do exactly what the manufactures claim with one proviso. To get the claimed results you actually have to use it! Like any piece of home workout equipment if you leave it under the bed gathering dust it just won’t work. You’ll lose no fat, burn no calories and you won’t get that strong and toned body you desire.
Why follow the herd. Do what thousands of smart people like you have done. Ride The Wave and enjoy the fat loss you deserve.
