Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Wave personal gym combines cardio and strength training in speed-slimming intervals, helping you blast off the pounds and chisel a leaner, shapelier, and sexier body in record time. The Wave system kicks off with the Wave platform, which employs proven training technology to take your workouts to a whole new level. The anchored side of the Wave is the perfect height to tighten and tone your hips, thighs, and butt. Plus, you can use the anchored side of the Wave for cardio sequences that maximize calorie burning with minimal impact. The rocking side of the Wave, meanwhile, keeps your core muscles--your abs, lower back, and hips--constantly engaged. The platform works particularly well when used in conjunction with the system's four DVD workouts, which help you enjoy amazing results through your mid-section while sculpting your upper and lower body. All in all, the Wave functions as an ab machine, butt and thigh toner, strength and cardio platform, and stretching device all in one.
The Wave's DVD workouts pack more than 100 total body sculpting and toning exercises into a variety of challenging workout routines. The Ride the Wave DVD includes everything you need to know to gain maximum results with the Wave. In this easy-to-follow, step-by-step 10-minute workout, you'll learn three simple Wave stances and three simple Wave moves--all you need to ride the Wave to success. Next up is the 30-minute Speed Slimming Sculpt DVD, a targeted, super-sculpting workout that gives you the trim, toned, and tight body you've always wanted. By building lean muscle, you rev up your metabolism and burn more fat and calories during and after your workout. This helps you slim down around the clock.
The third workout--the 40-minute Rock It Off!--is the ultimate high-energy, total body-firming and fat-burning cardio and strength interval workout. Rock It Off! is designed to work every inch of your body and maximize your post-workout calories. In quick speed-slimming intervals, the DVD guides you through one-stop, full-body, calorie-blasting exercises that hit every aspect of your body's conditioning needs. Finally, the Express Abs DVD helps you improve your core strength, balance, and posture using cutting-edge abdominal and lower back exercises. In this innovative workout, you'll use the Wave to get your stomach flat, toned, and swimsuit-ready in just 10 minutes per session.
 The Wave's anchored side tightens and tones your hips, thighs, and butt, while the rocking side engages your core muscles. |
 The Wave comes with 4 workout DVDs with more than 100 exercises. |
The Wave system also comes with a few bonus accessories to improve your fitness routine. The Wave mat, for instance, makes a comfortable and practical addition to your speed-slimming system by offering a sticky nonslip surface to sit underneath your Wave platform. The bundle also comes with the Firm's Weight Loss Success Guide, which includes a number of easy-to-use suggestions to help you lose weight and sculpt your body while revving your metabolism and energy like never before. The system concludes with the Wave Learn the Moves wall chart, which shows detailed step-by-step illustrations of each basic stance, with an emphasis on correct form and the do's and don'ts of the Wave.
About the Firm
It all began in 1979 when the Firm Studio opened in South Carolina. By combining cardio and weight training, the Firm recognized that people could burn fat, build muscle, and get the bodies they wanted safely, effectively, and quickly. They called this revolutionary hybrid workout "synergy training," and used it as the basis of the Firm method. It didn't take long for fitness enthusiasts to catch on, and the Firm was off and running. Not long afterward, the company decided to share its successful method with others around the country with a series of at-home workout videos. In the ensuing years, the Firm has sold more than 10 million workouts, making the company one of America's top purveyors of exercise videos. Today, the Firm's mission remains steady: to continue researching and creating superior fitness techniques and products for reshaping and toning the body.
Product Description
This "basic" kit includes four workouts plus The Firm's "Wave" platform. The Wave is super-versatile: Rounded side up: it boosts aerobic intensity and increases range of motion (as a step and a weight-lifting bench). Rounded side down: it adds a playful balance and core focus to every exercise (e.g. rocking back and forth while you're doing squats is a true ab challenge). Each of the four workouts is different: "Ride the Wave" is a compact muscle toner that also teaches you the moves. "Speed Slimming Sculpt" includes multi-muscle exercises to efficiently reshape your entire body (while also improving balance). "Rock It Off" alternates intervals of fat-burning cardio with innovative body-sculpting motions. "Express Abs" is a non-stop set of ultra-varied floor and standing abwork. The Wave is solid and well-constructed; it measures 28" x by 14". Workouts are led by Emily Welsh, Allie DelRio and Alison Davis-McLain. This set also includes a weight loss booklet plus a wall chart showing the moves. Requires 3 to 8 lb. dumbbells. Region 1.

The wave is awesome!!,
By Katina (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wave by The Firm Basic 4 DVD System (Misc.)
I ordered the wave and I absolutely LOVE it! The moves can be difficult to learn, but its well worth it to keep trying until you get it. I have used many of The Firm's systems and I love this one the best because its very low impact on my knees. I've had to stop using the fanny lifter due to knee pain and I've not had any issues with the wave. I started noticing a difference in my body very early and that's not easy now that I am approaching 40 with a metabolism in slow-mo! The workouts do move very fast, but they are short and intense and its over before you know it. I too have had issues with ordering direct from the Firm - long shipping times and overcharges. I ordered from eBay and received my order super fast. Try to order from Amazon or eBay and try the system. It's really awesome!

Fun, effective, and time passes quickly,

This review is from: The Wave by The Firm Basic 4 DVD System (Misc.)
I used to do the Firm tapes all the time. Just started getting back into them, and saw the Wave advertised. With some encouragement from my husband I purchased this and I am so glad I did. What fun!! I have seen a difference in my body, and especially my mood. I am a mom of 8, and just turned 40. I had let myself go a bit. Decided it was time to get healthy again. Started doing Leslie Sansone, which I really enjoyed, and then switched to the Firm. I love the Wave, as another review said, this is easy on the knees. Time just flies with these workouts. I can see a difference in my mid section.

Beware of Deceptive Ordering from The Firm but product is Great,
By Donna "Savvy Shopper" (Farmington, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wave by The Firm Basic 4 DVD System (Misc.)
I purchased the The Wave by The Firm Basic 4 DVD System directly from The Firm. The Wave is fun. BUT beware, I just received a box of DVD's from The Firm, billing me $39.85 for 3 payments. When I called The Firm they said I agreed to this subscription when I purchased the Wave. I told them there was no information provided when I placed the order that I was also agreeing to this subscription. The company has agreed to cancel the subscription and let me return the DVD's, but they would not send me the postage for the return. Beware when ordering anything from this company. They practice deceptive selling.
Update as of Sept. 5, 2009: I see I did neglet to comment on the product itself. The Wave is fun to use, and has helped me build up my core muscles. The DVD's are good and offer lots of different ways to exercise using the Wave platform and bands. The Wave base is sturdy and looks as if it will last forever. I like that you can slip the exercise bands through the platform for more variation in resistance exercises.
