Curves: Getting Busy Women Back to Fitness

They say that if you have thirty minutes, then they can help. Some may have been skeptical in the beginning but Curves has taken off in a big way. If you’ve got thirty minutes, they may be able to help you.

Whether you are a working mom or a busy stay at home mom, you do what you do to help your family. Sometimes, work and raising kids can be stressful and lead us down a path of bad eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle. That adds up to less time to actually enjoy your family.

Fitness in gyms always seemed to be geared towards men. There were a lot of weights to make you huge, but most women aren’t into that. They want to do what they have to do and get moving because their schedules were busy.

Curves has answered that call with the well-known Curves workout. It combines aerobics and weights in a unique thirty minute interval training workout.

Here’s How it Works.

Each weight machine used in the workout is separated by a recovery board in a large circle. You can start on the recovery pad or on a weight machine. Sixty seconds is spent on each piece of equipment. To rest the muscles, the recovery board is provided where you can run, jog or walk in place for one minute. Then, it is on to the next piece of equipment.

The workout utilizes upper and lower body weight machines that use hydraulics to provide effective resistance. Working your cardiovascular system and your muscles in intervals burns more fat in an efficient manner. In thirty minutes, you get a total body workout that you can feel.

Where to Find Curves?

Curves centers are located everywhere so that you can join one nearest to you. If you have to run the carpool one day, stop into Curves for your workout beforehand. While the kids are at practice afterschool, run on over and get your workout in before you have to pick them up. After work, a quick thirty minute workout may give you the energy you need to spend a quality evening with your family.

What about Support?

The professionals at Curves know that your time is precious. They will work to get you in and out. And, while you are there you will have the support you need to keep going and meeting those fitness goals. To that end, they have come up with Curves Smart, a new electronic training program that allows you to see your progress on each machine in the circuit and improve your fitness level.

Do you need a workout that fits your busy life as a woman? Curves is designed especially for women and if you can carve out a half hour, they can help you get started on the way to a healthier, more fit lifestyle.
