The Firm Wave Opinions

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.

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.

The Firm claim you can burn up to three times more fat by exercising on the Wave. I'm not sure about three times but you will get one of the most challenging cardio workouts you've ever experienced. If rocking to a fast beat, the Wave will have you breathless in less than 5 minutes if your not used to it.

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.

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.
