I Bought The Firm Wave But I Don’t Find It Challenging

Question: I bought The Firm Wave, but don’t find it challenging – Is it only suitable for a beginner?

Answer: No it’s suitable for all levels – not just beginners. I get a lot of mail on this question and I have to say I’m puzzled by it. I’m a Personal Trainer and although I wouldn’t consider myself to be super fit I’m in reasonable shape and I find it versatile enough to be as challenging as you want! My clients also find it a challenging and varied workout which they enjoy.

Without seeing your workout and how you’re using the Wave I couldn’t say why you find it so easy. It could be your pace, the weight of dumbell your using or your form. It’s very easy to cheat when doing the exercises if your form isn’t great.

You could just use the TheFirmWave in part of your workout (which is what I do) to keep your workout fresh and interesting or you could easily create your own unique workout using the Wave and add what you consider to be more challenging moves.

Using The Firm Wave is different. Many people don’t like it at first because they feel unsteady on The Wave and therefore give up before they get used to it. I’d recommend you continue using The Wave even if you believe it isn’t challenging enough, and see how you progress over the next couple of months.

All the best,

    I really don’t see how someone could say the Wave isn’t challenging. I’ve had mine for 3 months and love it. Now I’m not an Olympic athlete but I’m reasonably fit and not a coach potato :)
