 Great Workout!Sep 01, 2009
By E. Pennington
"Sew Unique"
In the last six months I was diagnosed with a condition that prevents me from doing intense cardio ( I have sarcoidosis and a tumor in my lung). I bought the Firm Wave as an alternative workout, being unable to run or do an ellipitical machine. The program guarantees results in 10 workouts. I am just on my 7th and have lost 2 inches off my bust, 2 off my waist and 1 inch off my hips. I enjoy the program and the variety.I also love the calendar included, telling you which workout to do on what day and the meal suggestion plan.
On the downside, I do think the warm ups are way too fast to get the moves down immediately. I wish they would have taken things at a slower pace (Hence the 4 star rating, not 5) If you stick with the workouts, you will catch on. My favorite disc is the speed slimming sculpt. I also like the Rock your Buns Off disc that you buy separately. You will need light weights to perform the workout. I am almost 40 yrs. old and this program has given me hope that I can get my body back. All in all, it is a nice at home workout that is cheaper than a gym membership.

Good for those just starting or starting up againOct 15, 2009

I hadn't worked out in a couple months and was putting off starting this program thinking it would be brutal like some programs I've done (Jillian Michael's 30 day shred for example- working out does not have to be so punishing). Now that I have started the Wave, I am thinking that it is perfect for my situation- someone who wants to get back to working out and is dreading a real grind. I can see myself doing this for 4-6 weeks and building back up my endurance and muscle strength and then moving on to something more challenging and less boring (I am not bored yet, but can see how someone would be if they used the program for a while). I also added a few bike rides and walks in with the program and I feel really good! It is definitely not for advanced exercisers. It is a start up program for people who don't work out or have been out of the routine for a while.

 fun but not revolutionary.Aug 16, 2009
By Stacie
I was hoping to feel some big difference in my body by doing this workout, but unfortunatly did not. If you are new to the firm or excersise this may be the ticket for you, it does have alot of fun moves and it is short enough to keep you coming back. As a firm believer it comes nowhere near the level of intensity of the transfirmer box, or the more recent DVD's with their high energy cardio I love. The claims about engaging your core on the wave may be true but I personally did not see any big difference.Please don't take this the wrong way because i love the firm just not this new system.

 DVD's stinkDec 31, 2009
By KG

Who can't resist The Wave after seeing their infomercial? The Wave itself is cool. However, the DVD's are poor. They tell you that if you are new to watch the gal doing the same thing in simple form, but then rarely show that person (doh!). Also, I got The Wave to use The Wave itself, not to dance around it. The videos use The Wave more as a step than as a 'wave'. And, they spend a lot of time dancing around it - very irritating. Many people buy The Wave expecting to use the 'wave', not as a step or something to dance around. Also, my abs were not getting a workout. I have to do additional ab workouts after the video.
I do love the moves where they actually use The Wave as a wave. But, those moves are few. I am an avid exerciser, and consider myself fairly fit, which is also why the DVD's kind of stink. That being said, if you learn some of The Wave's 'wave' moves, and incorporate them into your own workout, as well as creating some of your own, you will probably be much happier. (Doing squats with a kettle bell on the wave, FUN! Lots of ways to incorporate The Wave into your workout). I have been doing Body for Life for over two years, and it works. However, my workouts were stale and I really wanted some zing and pep. While The Wave is cool, the DVD's will not give you the workout you need if you already exercise regularly. Also, you will not get much of a workout if you are staring at the TV with your mouth open trying to figure out how they are doing those dance steps around The Wave. Sure, you do get used to it and sort of keep up with the fast changing steps, but by then you've already surpassed the videos and need more intensity anyhow. Oh - and the gals wear black pants, making it even harder to see the dance steps.
I would probably give this item more stars if it had a better set of DVD's with it - and if it actually used The Wave as a 'wave' more. I think people that's the reason people buy this - they want to use the 'wave' aspect of it, not as a step or something to dance around.

A guys review.Feb 25, 2010
By Brian Nallick
"METALMANMN"
Like many of you I saw this on tv and decided to purchase it.
I can say that after only four days of eating clean, doing the wave, and weights I've already lost two inches off my waist. YAYYYY!!!
The first time I got on this thing I wasn't sure if I'd be able to use it.
My coordination was REALLY bad.
But after only four days my balance and my comfort level with The Wave has really improved.
The workouts themselves are fun. Maybe a little hard to keep up with but that's ok.
Here's a hint for everyone who has trouble with some of the moves, I know I do.
MAKE UP YOUR OWN.
IMPROVISE.
Just keep moving.
I know some of these models are doing human pretzel moves that make me look at the screen and go "WTF did she just do?"
That's were I just start my own move until the model gets back to something I CAN mimic.
I would give The Wave five stars except for a few minor points.
Squatting on The Wave really hurts my lower back, so I've had to improvise on that part.
And my final complaint is this, and I hope nobody is offended by this.
Why is The Wave marketed to women only???
I'm sure I'm not the only guy to use The Firm products.
P90X has both genders represented equally as do most other cardio products.
I know I'm being kind of a baby here, but I emailed The Firm and asked them if in the future they could have both genders represented equally in their videos.
They responded promptly and said my email would be forwarded to the appropriate party.
Does this mean things will change in the future for The Firm?
I hope so.
It really doesn't do any good for any company to alienate anyone regardless of who they are. Everyone should be able to enjoy the benefits of their product.
Those minor complaints aside.
The Wave is fun.
It's effective.
I give it my recommendation.
