WEIGHT LOSS RELATED QUESTIONS
1. I thought one had to do cardio training to lose weight? How does the WAVE help with weight loss?
First lets start off with the facts. Exercise alone has not shown to produce significant weight loss. You probably have heard people talk about how they have been on the treadmill for months on end and have not lost any weight. Exercise combined with eating less number of calories than you burn every day, with small lifestyle changes, will lead to weight loss.
As you lose weight, you will also lose some muscle in addition to fat. This eventually leads to a drop in your metabolism also. The more weight you lose, the less you are able to eat later on to maintain the weight that you want. WAVE vibration exercise works on your metabolism. It has been shown to increase your resting metabolism. In addition, vibration exercise has been shown to help prevent loss of lean muscle. Combine WAVE vibration exercise with a sensible weight loss program, and you will be able to achieve the results you want.
2. I find I have troubles keeping up with an exercise program. Will I have the same problems using the WAVE?
Actually, studies have been done on vibration exercise, showing that it has a very high compliance rate (97%)! With our own experience, we have found that WAVE vibration exercise is actually enjoyable, and tends to produce a ‘feel good’ effect. It’s short training sessions and wide variety of exercise positions tend to decrease the boredom that is sometimes associated with exercise.
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. How many calories does WAVE vibration exercise burn?
Lets look at it another way. Our metabolism is unique to us. Metabolism is our body’s ability to burn a certain number of calories a day. The higher our metabolism, the more calories a day we can burn every day. WAVE vibration exercise has been shown to increase our resting metabolism. To answer the question, vibration exercise will allow you, over time, to burn more calories per day than you did before starting vibration training. This will help in preventing a drop in metabolism if you wanted to lose weight, or allow you to be able to eat healthy and maintain your weight over time.
5. I am going to be going for bariatric surgery. How can the WAVE help?
Research has shown that the more fit you are prior to going for surgery, the better your results will be, in terms of recovery and decreased risk. Some people go for bariatric surgery because they do not have the capability to start an exercise program due to any number of reasons, such as knee pain, circulation problems, etc. WAVE vibration exercise is a safe and effective way to initiate exercise, helping your muscles to get stronger and increasing circulation. After you are cleared by your physician to start WAVE exercise, you will essentially increase your fitness level prior to surgery. Increasing your fitness level will be important in recovering from surgery.
6. I have had bariatric surgery. How can the WAVE help?
WAVE exercise is a safe, gentle and effective way to begin exercising after surgery. You must first be cleared by your physician to start exercising. The WAVE offers many benefits. It is an excellent form of exercise that you can begin with to get stronger and more flexible. With WAVE exercise, you will be able to do more and become more motivated with the results you see to become more active. At the end of the day, becoming more active is what matters.

8. My weight loss center or doctor doesn’t know about vibration exercise. What can I do?

They can also call us to discuss how the WAVE can easily be integrated into a weight loss center, or added to an already existing weight loss program.
