# Waff & Weight Loss The reality is most fitness programs, classes, workouts, and training performed by those undergoing a weight loss program aren’t actually meant for those who are overweight. Unfortunately, this is an example of putting a square peg in a round hole.
The truth is that many aspects of traditional training can be outright dangerous or even unhelpful for those embarking on a journey to lose weight. Excess weight on someone’s frame means they likely have faulty movement patterns. If we then load even more weight on these faulty patterns, it’s like hauling a load in a pickup truck whose frame is out of alignment. The same goes for many high impact fitness classes featuring jumps and landings. Excess weight on one’s frame generally means faulty landing mechanics and altered load patterns. The key is finding balance. A balance between safety and providing an adequate challenge. Enter Waff—the safe, effective solution for weight loss fitness that provides a gentle, engaging challenge for people of all shapes and sizes. #### How Waff Helps With Weight Loss Fitness * Waff stimulates your nervous system to engage your muscles for a challenge that’s joint-friendly * Waff improves mobility, meaning it will help correct your movement, posture, and imbalances whereas loading someone who’s overweight degrades them * Waff improves weight loss by promoting additional neuromuscular activation. Additional activation means more intense stimulus, which means more fat loss. * Waff helps strengthen your joints that may be under stress from excess load * Waff empowers you to develop your core in a functional fashion * Waff relieves aches and pains commonly associated with being overweight #### As your body progresses, so can your workouts!
