Curves For Women - Diet Review

Curves For Women's exercise equipment is set up for you to work out on for about 25 minutes.

You finish with stretching out the muscles for 5 minutes.

Repetitive or boring? Yes and no!

If you are used to a high stepping type health club it will definitely be different. But I didn't find it boring!

I joined a facility near my home in Ohio. At that time the sign up fee was $149/year and a monthly fee of $30.00.

I had a lot of fun there - I was among women of all ages and I enjoyed meeting new people. And the people were friendly and supportive, as well as the staff.

All in all, I thought it was a good deal. They do run specials quite often for the membership.

When you start, you move at your own pace. They have guidelines for the maximum workout as you progress.

Equipment

The facilities are small with hydraulic resistance machines. The facility I was at had 12 machines. (This could vary for each facility.)

    -  You start on one piece of equipment and work out on it 30 seconds.

    -  There are small platforms in between each machine. You walk or jog in place for 30 seconds.

    -  You then move on to the next machine until you complete two rounds on each one.

    -  The workout takes about 25 minutes.

Stretching

After completing the workout, you move to an area to stretch out your muscles. That takes about 5 minutes.

I did lose weight and I felt better and more energized from exercising.

They have different incentives for members as they progress. They offer group support, which is good motivation for people that need it.

It is a different workout and atmosphere from regular gyms and clubs. If you're looking for treadmills and that type of equipment, it may not be for you.

As you reach full capacity on each machine, it is a good workout and fast paced. It does work all the muscle groups in your body.

Weight Loss Plan

Curves have two weight loss programs, one higher in protein and the other higher in carbohydrates. They recommend you lower the refined carbohydrates, but no foods were off limit.

Gary Heavin, founder of Curves, knows the causes for being overweight or obese can be an issue of too many calories or carbohydrates, and possibly both.

Finding out which one causes your issues, your plan is established complete with workouts, meal plans, grocery lists, recipes and more.

Six Week Course

Curves For Women offers a 6 week session to teach you how to eat right, eat more often but lower quantities, and boost your metabolism.

I highly recommend this program. The workout is excellent in itself, and if you do try their weight loss program, it is healthy.
