Curves

Does anyone know the point value of "Curves?"

It depends on your weight.. I'd say 30 minutes of moderate at best..

My cousin used to work at Curves. They gave her a 'sales' manual to
show her how to convince women to join. One example I remember...

Ask the question "What does your boyfriend / husband think of you
being overweight?"
If they answer "He doesn't care", the manual says to respond with
"Well, don't you want him to?"

Everytime I see one of their easy, breezy, self-esteemy commercials, I
think of that and it makes me want to gag.

At the same time, I think that being active is important... I just
hate the marketing ploys and sales tactics of most of these fitness
places.

and time efficient, which if you have children is a definite plus... and you
are teacher to be active, and while you are paying for their lessons, you
aren't additionally paying for a sitter, Lee, thinking this is a major NSV
for you, the kids and your pocket book

I go to Curves. I joined because our swimming pool was shutting down for
the winter and I needed to replace swimming with another activity. My
girls
go to karate 3 times a week, and Curves is just a few doors down from
their
dojo. When I went in to sign up, I didn't get any sort of a hard
sell--certainly nothing like you are talking about. But each Curves has
its
own owner, and there are probably a number who do things that way. yuck

I enjoy my workouts at Curves. They are just as intense as I choose to
make
them. Some days I put a lot more into them than on other days. Sometimes
I
go around the circuit 3 or 4 times rather than just 2. It's not my only
form of exercise--I walk a lot (fast), use my recumbent exercise bike,
etc.
And am eagerly awaiting the reopening of the pool. But Curves is a fine
workout, and it's a lot better than just sitting and waiting for my girls
to
get done with karate.
