The Firm Wave Reviews – Home Fitness Equipment
Posted by Fit Diva in Health and Fitness, tags: chefs diet, diet, fitness, nutrisystem, The firm Wave, weight lossThere’s a groundbreaking piece of kit in the world of home workout equipment. It’s called the wave – a super compact piece of kit at a great price!
Different to most pieces of home workout equipment, the wave doesn’t only do cardio workout for calorie burn or toning workout for muscle sculpting – it does both add to that the fact that core stretching and Pilates exercises can also be executed upon it, and you’ll see what got me so emotional!
Like all good innovations, the wave seems very simple. It has a curved design which enables it to be used either side up curved side up it is stable curved side down it is correspondingly unstable. Standing on the curved side makes it safe for step type exercises and static strength exercises. Standing on it curved side down makes it correspondingly unstable and therefore forces all core muscles to be used just to be able to stand upright on it. This has the added benefit of improving balance and strengthening abdominals.
Here are a few ideas for exercising on the wave: -
Ride the wave for a fantastic cardio work out that will burn calories and strengthen your heart and lungs. If you hold small hand weights while rocking you will increase your calorie burn. Put on some upbeat music and off you go — rock to the beat! Just 20 to 30 minutes of this three times a week will show great weight loss results in as little as a calendar month!
Just standing on the curved surface of the WAVE makes you use your core muscles. Doing exercises such as squats in this position tones and shapes your butt and legs as well as strengthening your abs and upper body. You are using calories just standing there! This is because you have to balance – and balancing works muscles and working muscles burns calories and fat.
Turn the WAVE over and now you have a Step. You can do all the things that you can do in a Step class, but without the bulky Step! Step Up, kick, lift your knees, jump from side to side – the list is endless and the choice is yours. Again, a great aerobic, calorie-munching work out! With an cheap workout band, you can add a muscle toning workout as well. And as we all know, lean muscle not only looks good but it burns calories 24/7 — even when you are watching TV or asleep.
These ideas are for when you are standing up. Many, many more exercises can be performed lying on the curved side on your back, on your front, or on your side. Pilates exercises executed this this way are twice as effective as those performed lying on the floor. Strengthen that core and flatten those abs! Get that long, lean silhouette that comes from practising Pilates regularly, then use your WAVE for stretching out to lengthen and relax your muscles.
I believe the Firms Wave is the most exciting piece of home workout equipment that I’ve seen for a long time. Why not check it out yourself? You’ll soon be riding The Firm Wave.

will the wave work for men?
Hi sarah!
I am sure that will work for me. I don’t think it is a sex specific workout.
I love the wave! Everytime i work out w/ it, i sweat like crazy and i don’t usually sweat. I’ve done it for 4 weeks now and have not grown tired of it yet…i don’t think i will ever be tired of it :0). I’m beginning to see results especially around my tummy area and neck area. It’s an awesome workout tool and it’s now apart of my daily life. Happy!
Romie!!
That is so awesome to hear about your results with the firm wave system!!
Congrats thus far
Hi
just wondering, i’m from the UK, where can i purchase the Wave from? the firm website does not deliver here.
Love, Love, Love my Wave. It’s the most fun I’ve had working out EVER!!!! If you are looking for a reasonably priced piece of workout equipment that is very much worth the money, this is it!!! I’ve had mine about a month and have not grown tired of it yet!
I have used the Firm since college (1992) with great results. I usually alternated running on the treadmill or eliptical machine for an hour 3-4 days a week for best results. Recently, I had a baby. While pregnant, I was not allowed to work out because my pregnancy was high-risk. Now, my baby girl is 7 weeks old and I am ready to get my body back. I still have about 20lbs to loose. Making to the gym is going to be difficult because of my husband’s schedule and refusal to leave the baby in the gym childcare center. Will the Wave offer me a cardio workout good enough to replace running or the eliptical trainer? I plan to alternate the Wave and other firm systems. Should I see results within a month’s time?
Hi Tiara, I am not a fitness expert, but I do feel that it should give a great cardio workout! To me the firm wave workout reminds me of step aerobics and man do I sweat during those workouts!
Have you found it for less than $89 any where?
Thank you
I am 58 years old and about 15 lbs heavier I want to be. Have you had any success stories with women my age?
