FITNESS RELATED QUESTIONS

1. What makes WAVE exercise different from conventional training?
WAVE exercise has the competitive advantage over conventional training due to its ability to provide a more effective and efficient exercise without the constraints associated with regular training, such as joint stress, lengthy repetitions and time commitments. Research has shown similar strength gains to conventional resistance training at a fraction of the time. Fifteen minutes of Vibration exercise produces similar results to 1 hour in conventional training. In addition, there is less stress on the joints, ligaments and tendons with Vibration training when compared to regular resistance training. Therefore, the WAVE provides an effective solution to those that may benefit from weight training, but are unable to engage in it.

2. How often should I use it to see results?
Use of the WAVE is similar to regular training in some aspects. How often you use it will depend on what you are hoping to accomplish. For those looking for strength gains, we recommend approximately 3 times per week. Others may use it every day for recovery and warming up and cooling down. Due to its ability to increase circulation, lactic acid is quickly cleared, leading to faster recovery and ability to use it again.

In other aspects, WAVE exercise is more efficient than conventional training. With regular weight training, muscles undergo some micro tears through the stresses placed on it. This leads to a recovery time of 48 hours before engaging in that activity again. Vibration training minimizes these micro tears. Combine this with the increased circulation, there is only a 24-hour recovery period before using it again for the same body part.

3. Is the WAVE a substitute for my cardio exercises?
Research shows that Vibration training does not stress the cardio system. This is beneficial to those individuals that cannot handle the demands of conventional strength training, which may put a stress on their cardiovascular system. However, if you want to add a cardio component to the exercises, you can easily increase the difficulty of the exercise with less breaks in between.

4. Will the WAVE replace my other fitness equipment?
Yes and no. The WAVE is an excellent alternative to regular training for those that cannot exercise due to joint stress and time constraints. The WAVE will allow an individual to easily initiate exercise until they are strong enough to engage in regular exercise if that is their wish. In addition, due to its effect on strength, flexibility and circulation, the WAVE can be used as an excellent complement to regular training, thereby enhancing the results that you want to achieve.

5. What kind of exercises can I do on the WAVE?
The WAVE is designed to work every muscle group through various positions. Only your imagination will limit the exercises that you can do.

6. My health club doesn’t know anything about WAVE vibration exercise. What can I do?
Actually, vibration training is becoming more and more popular in North America. Most of the fitness clubs out there have had some experience with vibration exercise. You can refer your fitness club owner to visit our website and to call us if they have any questions on how they can benefit by having the WAVE in their club.
