There were women of all shapes and sizes (college coeds to grandmas), exercising on a circuit to disco-fied 70's cover songs. Every 30 seconds, a pleasant - if somewhat robotic voice - commanded them to "change stations now." Some were actually sweating, so I decided to give the machines a try.
Curves, I take it all back. Your hydraulic resistance machines provide a helluva workout. It all depends on how fast you pump them. My glutes are actually sore this morning after 30 minutes, or 3 trips around the circuit last night. AND, I didn't tweak my ankle again...bonus!
So, yeah, I signed up. I may be hearing "change stations now" in my sleep, but that's a chance I'll have to take. Here's to curves with smaller radii!

I was a Curves gal for a couple of years, but I really only liked the in-between walking stations, I am simply not a weight machine person, any kind of weights. Decided to use our family Y membership and got hooked on yoga and pilates classes. But Curves is a great concept and you get to talk to people while you sweat!
Nan, ironically, I love the weights and that's what I was not doing after I quit the trainer. Problem is, I'm not a "chatty gal" when I work out. I just don't work hard enough when I'm flapping my gums. I hope the other Curves gals don't think I'm rude, but that's the way it is. Thanks for the comment!
