Lose Weight With The Wave - The Firm Wave Workout

By Carol J Bartram

What regular exercisers regularly ask me is if the Firm Wave is any use to them as they are not novice exercisers, nor beginners, nor overweight, in fact most of them are an awful lot fitter than I am! They are interested as to whether the Firm Wave can give them a workout that is intense enough for their fitness goals; some are in training for distance running, and some are just regular exercisers who enjoy keeping fit and seek new challenges.

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 first few weeks of any new exercise programme when you get the biggest bang for your buck, as your brain and heart and muscles scramble to adapt to what you have asked of them. Lots of energy is expended, which burns fat, muscles strengthen and become shapely as they are forced to work much harder than they are used to, and your heart and lungs become much more efficient circulating blood and oxygen around the body to keep up with your demands.

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. - 17273
