CURVES???

Post by patsue53 »

I just joined Curves. Has anyone else here tried it? I like the fast pace of it and that you're in an out of there in half an hour......I just hope it's effective. I figure any exercise is better than none so it can't hurt but would like to hear other's opinions. :D

A couple other folks recommended this and they love it. I opted to do W. Pilate instead as speed and comfort is not what this old gal needs for her old bones. :wink: If I was younger maybe I'd join you!

When I was there on Saturday morning it was pretty busy. There were folks there from skinny to fat, 30's to 80's. So far I'm really liking it. :)

That's great, Deb!! It'll be fun to go as a family! I fell off the Curves wagon over the holidays but jumped back on last week. I'm going to really try to keep it up. :oops:

I did Curves for about eight months, but found that no matter how hard I tried I never broke into a sweat. And to be totally honest, I got really bored with the same routine every time.

After my membership expired, I joined a local, family-owned gym 5 minutes from my house and I just love it. I'm really limited on what I can do because of my knees and feet, so I do from 20-40 minutes on an ellpitical trainer (virtually no impact!!!!), which is fast becoming addicting!!! Then I do different weight equipment, alternating from day to day. To break the routine, sometimes I do 30 minutes on a bike or walk on a treadmill.

I love it so much better than Curves... but keep in mind that's just my opinion :)
