Lose Weight With The Wave - The Firm Wave Reviews

By Carol J Bartram

People who exercise regularly and are already quite fit and don't need to lose any weight often ask me if the Firm Wave would be any good for them or if it is only suitable for new and novice exercisers. Some of these people are clients of mine who I have been training for some time; there are quite fit - in fact some of them are fitter than me, and they know nearly as much about exercise as I do!

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 seem to spend my life tried to persuade people to change their exercise programme, just as they seem to have got used to it. We are all creatures of habit and like things we are used to, and exercise workouts are no different but, if we keep doing the same things after our bodies have adapted to them, we will get no further in our fitness goals as our bodies will only expend as much energy as they need to carry out the task we have set for them. That means we will not get any fitter or slimmer or more toned unless we do something different and challenge our bodies in a different way.

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.
