WAVE Whole-Body Advanced Vibration Exercise, a North American company that focuses on the manufacture, education, research and training of vibration exercise technology, has announced its first consumer model, the WAVE Contour Plus fitness device, which will be available this spring.

 

The unit is designed to simulate the body’s natural stretch reflex through involuntary muscle contractions, giving users of all ages and fitness levels an accelerated whole-body workout in as little as 15 minutes, three times a week. This strong involuntary muscle contraction, combined with a frequency of up to 50 contractions per second, can produce up to 3,000 muscle contractions in one minute. The benefits of WAVE vibration exercise include accelerated weight loss, increased strength, circulation, and muscle tone, positive effects on bone density, and minimal stress on joints.

 

Its low impact nature makes WAVE the exercise of choice for those that can’t handle the stresses of conventional training. WAVE Contour Plus will offer users the opportunity to get an hour of results in one 15-minute session using the device.

 

Designed by a team of health and fitness professionals, WAVE’s advanced patented technology is already being utilized by medical and rehabilitation facilities, professional and Olympic athletes, and celebrities. The technology was originally designed to treat bone and lean muscle mass loss in cosmonauts who spent considerable time in a weightless environment, in addition to enhancing power and strength and accelerating recovery in Russian Olympic athletes.

 

The WAVE Contour Plus will be available for purchase this spring, directly on the manufacturer's website. Unfortunately, there is no information available on the pricing of this fitness gadget just yet. So, you can either wait until later this spring to find out whether you can afford it or not, or you can be a bit pushy and contact the manufacturer directly, for an additional inquiry.
