Lose Fat With The Wave - The Firm Wave Review

By Carol J Bartram

A lot of people have asked me whether the Firm Wave is a good piece of exercise equipment for regular exercisers, or is only useful for beginners. These people are experienced exercisers, some of whom are training for particular events and some are just keen exercisers who like to keep themselves in shape and enjoy different types of exercise to stop themselves getting bored or jaded.

My answer to them is the same as it is to the novices; the Wave is suitable for anyone at any exercise level and the intensity of the workout that you get from the Wave will depend on the effort that you put in. In other words, a Wave workout can be as varied and intensive as you want it to be; because it is so versatile there are lots of ways to change your workouts to keep them fresh and to keep your body guessing as to what is coming next.

I'm always telling my regular personal training clients that their workouts must change in order for them to progress. Our bodies are very clever and over millions of years of evolution have learned to adapt to whatever stresses and strains we place upon them; once used to a particular form of exercise, the body wastes as little energy as possible in carrying it out. This is the true meaning of efficiency, and our bodies are extremely efficient machines if kept properly and looked after carefully.

The fitness gains and weight loss at the beginning of any new fitness regime are always the most dramatic, as fat is burnt as fuel and muscles get stronger to do what we ask of them. However, like the Borg, our bodies quickly adapt to the stresses placed upon them and the fitness gains become slower and then finally stop and will even reverse if the workout not changed.

The great thing about using the Firm Wave for your workouts is its incredible versatility. As the DVDs show, there are many different things that can be done with the Wave. Curve side up, there are all sorts of step and aerobic moves around, on and over the Wave. Add hand weights to these moves and you present your body with a whole new set of challenges. Flip the Wave over and you can do an equal number of aerobic strength-based exercises with the added bonus of an unstable surface to work with, making your body work in a wholly different way, burning a large amount of calories and vastly increasing your fitness gains. - 17274
