Curves Appeal
I’m sure by now you’ve heard of Curves. But maybe you don’t really know much about it. I’m going to give you a glimpse of what Curves is from the standpoint of someone who goes there, me.
Back in September, the same day the kids started back at school, I joined Curves. I didn’t know what to expect but I’d heard a lot about it, and it was close to home and cheap, so I figured I’d give it a try. Am I glad I did.
First let me tell you about the workout. There are a lot of different machines you can use at Curves. Each one works two muscle groups at the same time. There is a push and a pull on each machine so you’re working one muscle group on the pull and the other side on the push. The machines don’t use weights, they use air. The only downside to this is that they only way to increase the weight is to go faster.
In between each machine is either a board held up by rubber or a stair stepper. On these stations you do your aerobics. You can walk or job in place, jump up and down or any number of other things. The instructors are there to give you ideas and help you out if you need help.
Now let me tell you about the atmosphere and the people. I have met the nicest women ever while at Curves. Curves has become the place I go to de-stress. I go there 3-4 days a week to relax and chat with real people. There’s always good music playing so you can just workout and listen to the music or you can chat with your new friends. No thinking involved. Just workout on something, listen for the voice telling to move to the next station and do what you’re told.
