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.

When you turn the Wave over so that the curved surface is down you end up with an unstable surface. With your feet on either side of the Wave it can be challenging to stay upright on it never mind move. This way up you can rock from side to side for a fantastic fat burning workout, walk on the Wave to help tone thighs and buns, increase core and abdominal strength and you can add a resistance band to super charge your workout.

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.

The Wave will enable you to perform over 100 toning, strength building and body sculpting exercises all on a piece of kit that costs less than $100 and comes with four DVD's an exercise mat and a healthy eating guide. I have to say I was impressed with the Wave. It won't stack like the T-Bow but for most home users who only buy one this will not 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. - 16463
