Any PT Ladies Go To Curves?

I just signed up to go next Monday for a free 1 week trial. They said I had to bring my shoes as opposed to wearing them. They don't want to get the mats dirty. I thought that was kind of strange. I hope I will enjoy it. It's down the street from where I live so I could even walk to it. Wish me luck!

There's a place literally a block away thats just likes Curves. If I were to join a gym of any sort, I'd go there... keep the money local and all that

I actually HAVE been thinking its time for me ot get out of the house and into the world again. For the past two years, I've been nursing my wounds after a major professional disaster (badly sexually and emotionally harassed at my last job) and I've been "hiding out" from the real world.... now I'm ready to go out and enjoy life again outside. New Year, New Kim. I think I'll make a stop at the gym today and call hubby's work ot see what kind of insurance re-imbursement they offer for me to go to a gym. If its only gonna cost me $5 a week or so, I'm gonna do it!

Whether it is Curves, the YMCA, a local gym, a park, your home, wherever.....doing anything consistently, 3 or 4 times a week, with conviction, works.

If you need a Curves environment, do it! If you need a buddy, find one! Don't get sold on "I must belong or go somewhere", as you don't. If you have a TV, and a VCR or DVD player, you can do alot. Even without that, just get out and walk. Stretch. Do situps. Whatever- just move.

I went to a slummy gym back home for 3 months & lost 20 pounds & toned up a little, I loved it. My sisters childhood friend decided to go to Curves to loose some weight, she was always a chunky kid. She was prob about 180 pounds & she looks to be about 100 pounds now. Shes not a toothpick as shes a small person, but she looks GREAT!

Like said above, aslong as you get your mindset, it'll work

I agree wholeheartedly. Find what works for you. Start out at whatever level of intensity and duration that is comfortable and work up from there.
Even if it is only 10 minutes, it's a start. Keep at it and you will find you will find it gets a bit easier and you can go a bit longer (and faster). I now do a total of 40 minutes a day, six days a week, but I didn't start out like that.
