The Firm Wave Exercise Equipment Rocks!
The Firm Wave is a new and innovative piece of home exercise equipment that can help you shed pounds, lose inches and feel great. The Waves design is simple but brilliant; it is a curved and shaped piece of strong plastic with a stable side and an unstable side that rocks when you step on it, making your balance engage and your core muscles work hard.
The design of the Firm Wave means that one side can be used to step up and down - a cardio and excellent leg strengthening exercise, and the other side rocks and can be used in a surfing action that makes the body's internal muscles engage. The more muscles you engage during an exercise, the more calories you burn and the more your muscles become toned and strong.
The Firm Wave costs just under $100, making it less expensive than many other pieces of home exercise equipment. The basic set consists of the Firm Wave itself and several other items, such as a wall chart showing clearly how to use the Wave, booklet to give you some ideas on sensible eating, and for yes 4 DVDs with different workouts on. These range from a great 10 minute abdominals workout tool 45 minute slim and sculpt workout. All these workouts are suitable for beginners and yet will also stretch an experienced exerciser as some challenging progressions to the exercises are shown.
The Firm Wave is uncomplicated and fun to use. Choose from curve-up which makes the Firm Wave stable and suitable for use for stepping exercises and as a platform for seated and floor exercises such as Pilates. And that's only half of what you can do with the Wave - turn it over (curve-side down) and the Wave provides a rocking platform on which you can rock from side to side Surfing the Wave; forward and back - Carving the Wave" or for pressup exercises at floor level which is called Trimming the Wave.
Step is also very good for your coordination -- useful when you have two left feet like I have! The other side of the Wave rocks when you step on it, meaning that you have to balance just to stand still. When you rock from side to side all your core and postural muscles are engaged, which strengthens and trims your whole body and makes your workout feel like youre having fun!
The Firm Wave comes with three easy-to-follow and inspirational DVDs that are taught by professional exercise instructors who coach you through fun and effective workouts. There are no complicated dance routines to learn, the steps involved being straightforward and easy to master whilst being very effective at raising your heart rate and thus burning bucketloads of calories!
When you switch the Wave so that the curve side is down, that's when the fun really begins! You can now rock your way to fitness by placing one fault either side of the Wave or even 1 foot forward and 1 foot back to rock backwards and forwards. Keeping your balance is quite challenging, but means that your body engages all your core muscles -- so your abdominals have to work twice as hard as usual -- which is great for toning and shaping your midsection.
The Firm Wave is an excellent, great value choice for any home exerciser and I would recommend the Firm Wave to any of my clients.
