The Firm Wave Exercise Equipment

By Carol J Bartram

My clients have been pestering me to review the Firm Wave Personal Gym to decide if they should buy one. They were worried it would be another useless piece of home exercise equipment that was all hype and wouldn't give them the type of workout they were looking for. As I use a similar piece of equipment the T-Bow I took up the challenge.

Both the T-Bow and the Wave are shaped like a small humped back bridge. You can rock on it curved side down or use it as a step curved side up (it's stable and won't move) this way you can use it as a step, do your stretches on it, If you buy a cheap exercise band you can use it for strength training and by using only your own body weight you can do exercises like lunges, squats and press-ups.

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.

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.

This piece of equipment is not a gimmick. It will do what it claims if you use it. The advantage this has over many other pieces of home exercise equipment is it's price. Even if like most people you quit after a few weeks what have you lost? Not a great deal and because it's so small, has no moving parts and is easy to stow away when you decide to give it another go it will still work even if you leave it for 5 years or more.

Why follow the herd. Do what thousands of smart people like you have done. Ride The Wave and enjoy the fat loss you deserve. - 16083
