The Firm Wave System

By Carol J Bartram

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.

With the Wave turned the other way (curved side down) you can really challenge yourself. By rocking and walking on the Wave you can accelerate your fat burning potential. You can also Use it to Ride The Wave by rocking, walk your way fit by turning the wave sideways, Work and develop better core stability and buy a cheap exercise band to add more resistance

It is claimed you can burn three times more fat using the Wave compared to other cardio equipment. Three times, well maybe not but you will burn a lot more that's for sure. Working on the Wave is challenging, rocking to music with a fast beat will have you sweating and breathing hard in less than five minutes.

It's possible to do over 100 separate fat burning and toning exercises using the Wave. You can strength train and sculpt those long lean muscles you've always dreamed of. When you consider it comes bundled with 4 DVD's, an exercise mat, The Wave and a healthy eating guide all for less than $100. I was impressed with the wave and it compared well with the TBow. It's not gym quality but for home use should be OK.

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 waste any more time, do what thousands of others have done. Ride The Wave and get the results you've only dreamed of. - 16004
