I joined Curves about a month ago because my old gym was just far enough away that I didn't always feel like heaving my butt off the sofa and going. The Curves is only a mile and a half, which I love!
I really enjoy the circuit and the other ladies there. The best part is that I don't have to think about anything thanks to that voice that tells you to change stations!
Also, I find that since the activity is in short bursts, I tend to go full out on each station. I figure, I can stand just about anything for 30 seconds!
PS Carolyn, congratulations on your weight loss! That is so fantastic!!!
